A Study on the Effect of Addition Li, Na, and K on the Radiation Shielding Capabilities of B2O3-TeO2-ZnO-PbF2-Er2O3 Glass Structure

Abstract

The radiation shielding qualities of the B2O3-TeO2-ZnO-PbF2_ M2O/MF (M= Li, Na, and K) glass samples doped with Er2O3 were investigated in this research. The Phy-X/PSD software was simulated to evaluate the attenuation factors of glass systems at various energy regions. The results show that the addition of LiF instead of Li2O, Na2O, K2O, NaF, or KF to the base glass system (B2O3-TeO2-ZnO-PbF2-Er2O3) leads to an increase in the density of the glass and an increase in the linear attenuation coefficient. Also, it is seen that for the E4 sample (B2O3-TeO2-ZnO-PbF2-Er2O3-LiF), a decrease in half value layers and tenth value layers in high energy region 10-15 MeV.
