MAC values declined by 17 %, and HVL increased by 14.6 %, from 0.048 cm in S1 to 0.055 cm in S6 at 1 MeV. MFP values increased by 16.7 %, further illustrating the weakened radiation shielding capacity with higher B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> content. It can be concluded that while boron-doped glasses offer environmental benefits, their reduced radiation attenuation capacity with increasing B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> content necessitates further optimization to enhance their suitability for medical and industrial applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"238 ","pages":"Article 113199"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144703607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
