Abstract:This article contains detailed evaluation of thermal, mechanical, radiation shielding and thermoluminescence (TL) properties of heavy metal oxide (HMO) borosilicate glasses having composition xBi 2 O 3 -(60-x) B 2 O 3 -20SiO 2 -12ZnO-8BaO (with x= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mol%). Gamma shielding capacity of these glasses was examined in terms of mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) values, exposure and energy absorption build-up factor (EBF/EABF). The experimental MAC values were found to agree well with the theo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
