Synthesis and characterization of γ-irradiated cadmium-borate glasses doped V2O5

Investigation of Gamma‐Radiation Shielding Properties of Cadmium Bismuth Borate Glass Experimentally and by Using XCOM Program and MCNP5 Code

“…[ 1,12,13 ] Previous studies showed that excellent features were achieved by adding cadmium oxide (CdO) to the borate glass system (improved mechanical strength and density and maintained the amorphous structure of the glass network). [ 14–16 ] Both bismuth oxide and CdO provide compatibility with the borate glass system by increasing stabilization, improving chemical durability, and of course, increasing glass density. [ 17–20 ]…”

[17][18][19][20] This study continues our previous research in determining the gamma shielding properties of new glassy borate systems with a constant amount of bismuth oxide and different CdO concentrations.…”

Study on some physical and optical properties of alkaline alumino borate glasses doped with Mn2+ ions

“…In this way, low field strength alkaline earth oxides, which have generally introduced into the glass network [6]. When alkaline earth metal oxides added to the borate oxide, a part of the boron is modified to tetrahedral coordination to a particular limit after which nonbridging oxygens are formed [7]. A portion of the advantages in utilizing modifiers (alkali/alkaline) in borate glass details are to increase the thermal resistance and mechanical strength, enhanced aqueous capacity to concentrate TM ions, chemical durability and also reduced of melting temperature [8].…”
