Abstract:In the present work, a glass system with developed composition consisting of B2O3, ZnO, Na2O and Fe2O3 samples has been investigated. Glass samples were prepared using the melt quenching method and the density of the system was measured using Archimedes’ principle. Spectroscopic analysis using a gamma source and a high-purity germanium detector at four energies of 0.0595, 0.6617, 1.173, and 1.333 MeV emitted from Am-241, Cs-137, and Co-60 were used to determine the attenuation parameters of present glass compo… Show more
