Structural and optical features of new Gd2O3-doped zinc boro-tellurite glass systems and computation of radiation shielding attenuation parameters
This study evaluates gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3)-doped zinc boro-tellurite (ZBT) glass for photonic and radiation protection applications, revealing that increasing Gd2O3 concentration enhances density from 4.08 to 4.32 g/cm3 and structural integrity while maintaining amorphous nature. FTIR spectroscopy identified key structural units of (BO3, BO4, TeO3, TeO4, Zn–O), and optical analysis demonstrated high visible transmittance greater than 80 % and increased refractive index (1.94–2.07), indicating optoelectronic potential. Photoluminescence showed blue-green emissions with peak intensity at 1.5 mol% of Gd2O3, suggesting solid-state lighting suitability. Phy-X/PSD revealed energy-dependent radiation shielding with mass attenuation coefficients ranging from 37.977 to 40.469 cm2/g at 0.015 MeV, while the effective atomic number peaked at 48.48 within 0.04–0.06 MeV, indicating dominant photoelectric absorption. The half-value layer and mean free path increased from 0.004 to 0.153 cm and 0.006–0.221 cm at lower energies, reaching 5.446 cm at 8 MeV and 7.858 cm at 8 MeV, reflecting transitions from photoelectric to Compton scattering and pair production, and confirming superior low-energy attenuation. These results establish Gd2O3-doped ZBT glass as a promising multifunctional material with high density, structural robustness, and enhanced optical performance for advanced radiation shielding and photonic technologies.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
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.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
