Optical properties and γ-ray attenuation capacity of cadmium boro-phosphate glasses doped with Nd3+ ions
In the present work, the role Nd2O3/B2O3 substitution on the physical, optical properties, and γ-ray attenuation competence of Nd2O3-doped cadmium boro-phosphate glasses was investigated. For this purpose, four glasses with chemical formula (25-z)B2O3-zNd2O3–5Na2O–40P2O5–30CdO samples, where z is equal to 0.0 (Nd-1), 0.5 (Nd-2), 1.0 (Nd-3), and 1.5 (Nd-4) mol% were synthesized using the melt quenching technique. The density (ρ) was improved in the range of 3.16 ± 0.02 g/cm3 to 3.53 ± 0.02 g/cm3 for Nd-1 and Nd-4 samples. Also, the molar volume (Vm) was enhanced from 39.46 ± 0.01 cm3/mol to 40.16 ± 0.01 cm3/mol as Nd2O3 content increased in the glass networks. The direct optical gap ( reduced from 4.439 ± 0.001 eV to 4.079 ± 0.001 eV, while the indirect optical gap ( reduced from 3.843 ± 0.001 to 3.607 ± 0.001 eV. The Urbach's energy was raised from 0.318 ± 0.001 to 0.243 ± 0.001 eV. The linear refractive index (n) was enhanced as Nd2O3 substitution ratio increased. Mass (MAC) and linear (LAC) coefficients verified the order: (Nd-1)MAC, LAC)<(Nd-2)MAC, LAC)<(Nd-3)MAC, LAC)<(Nd-4)MAC, LAC). The half (HVL) value layer obeyed the order: (Nd-1)HVL >(Nd-2)HVL >(Nd-3)HVL >(Nd-4)HVL. Therefore, the suggested glasses can be considered as promising materials for optical and radiation attenuation applications.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
