Experimental and Simulation Investigations of Mechanical Properties and Gamma Radiation Shielding of Lithium Cadmium Gadolinium Silicate Glasses Doped Erbium Ions

Study of the influence of MoO3 concentration on the chemical structure, physical properties, and radiation absorption prowess of alumino lead borate glasses

“…Glass preparation: As described in our article [1], the melt quenching procedure is used to fabricate the glasses in table 1 Density (ρ) of fabricated glass samples was estimated by the Archimedes procedure as [19]:…”

“…Pb 3 O 4 addition into Al 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 glasses improves chemical strength and lowers the melting point. These glasses were created to withstand atmospheric moisture while also allowing for a large amount of transition metal (TM) or rare-earth doping (REs) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Hardness, and elastic moduli are all characteristics of glasses doped with MoO 3 .…”

Hazardous radiation protective glasses for medical and research laboratories

“…In our previous work [ 4 , 5 , 20 ] it was observed that addition of rare-earth ions enhances the radiation shielding property and hence in the present work it is focused to add rare-earth ions with heavy metal oxide such as Bi 2 O 3 . Addition of rare-earth ions such as gadolinium (Gd 2 O 3 ) content in the glass matrix will enhances the radiation shielding ability [ 21 ] and its optical transmittance which is important property for the glasses [ 22 , 23 ]. The rare-earth doped glasses are most importance for the manufacturing of solid-state luminous applications [ 24 ] and shielding gamma-ray and neutron applications [ 25 ].…”
