Role of GeO2 on enhancing the shielding properties of phosphate and borate-phosphate glasses

Theoretical Investigation of the Influence of Different Heavy Metal Oxides Modifiers on ZnO-Bi2O3-B2O3-SiO2’s Photon- and Neutron-Shielding Capabilities Using the Monte Carlo Method

“…Researchers have been focusing on studies related to radiation shielding material, as radiation plays an essential part in medicine, for the sake of finding the most suitable materials for different applications. Glass has been considered an excellent radiation shield due to its properties [1,8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Many studies focused on investigating the capabilities of glass to shield against different radiation for many industrial and medical applications [1,8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”
