“…This exponential decrease is due to Compton scattering (CS), representing the primary interaction in the selected energy region. The cross-section corresponding to CS decreases linearly with increasing photon energy, where σ Cs α E −1 37 . When the photon energy is varied from 0.244 to 2.506 MeV, the LAC decreases in the following intervals: 0.352–0.116, 0.357–0.117, 0.362–0.118, 0.369–0.120, 0.379–0.122, and 0.388–0.125 cm −1 for samples BZLSn0, BZLSn1, BZLSn2, BZLSn3, BZLSn4, and BZLSn5, respectively.…”

A series of six samples were prepared based on the chemical composition of 65B2O3 + 20ZnO + (15-x)LiF + xSnO2 (where x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.25 mol%) to study the role of SnO2 on enhancing the optical and radiation attenuation capacity of the prepared glasses. The preparation of the glass series was performed using the melt quenching method at 1100 °C for 60 min. The density of the fabricated samples was measured using an MH-300A densimeter. The optical parameters of the fabricated glasses were calculated based on the spectrum recorded by a Cary 5000 UV–Vis–NIR double beam spectrophotometer in a wavelength range of 200 to 3000 nm. Furthermore, Monte Carlo simulation code and the XCOM online database were used to estimate the gamma-ray shielding capacity of the fabricated samples from 0.244 to 2.506 MeV. The results show enhanced gamma-ray shielding capacity due to the replacement of LiF by SnO2. The linear attenuation coefficient at 0.244 MeV was enhanced from 0.352 to 0.389 cm−1. The half-value thickness of the investigated glasses decreased from 1.967 to 1.784 cm when the increasing addition of SnO2 from 0 to 1.25 mol%.

“…The evaluation of the shielding parameters was performed utilizing the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique in the energy interval between 0.059 and 2.506 MeV. As previously illustrated in many articles, an input file containing all information about the source, detector, sample, and geometry should be created to evaluate the shielding properties using the MC simulation 34 , 35 . In this input file, the source is considered to emit a photon flux with energies varied between 0.059 and 2.506 MeV along the Z direction.…”

A series of five glass samples have a chemical composition of (55-x) B2O3 + 5 Bi2O3 + 20SrF2 + 20Na2O + xAg2O with varied doping ratios x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mol% were fabricated using the melt quenching technique to study the effect of B2O3 replacement by Ag2O on the physical, mechanical, optical and gamma-ray shielding capacity of the fabricated glasses. The Cary 5000 UV–Vis–NIR measured the optical absorption in the wavelength range between 200 and 3000 nm. Based on the measured optical absorption, energy (direct/indirect) bandgap and Urbach energy were calculated. Moreover, the measured samples density, molar volume, packing density, dissociation energy, and mechanical properties for the fabricated glasses were calculated using the concepts of the Makishima-Mackenzie model. In this regard, the microhardness was decreased from 4.070 to 3.931 GPa with raising the Ag2O concentration. The effect of B2O3 replacement on the shielding capacity was also evaluated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results showed that the replacement of B2O3 causes a significant increase in the shielding parameters like linear attenuation coefficient and radiation shielding capacity. The best radiation shielding properties were achieved for a glass sample with 4 mol% Ag2O compound. Its linear attenuation coefficient varied between 8.091 and 0.134 cm−1, raising the gamma photon energy between 0.059 and 2.506 MeV.
