Physical and Gamma-Ray Shielding Properties of Strontium Borosilicate Glasses

Abstract:

Glasses composition of xSrO:(70–x)B₂O₃:30SiO₂ when 25≤x≤50 mol% were prepared using the melt quenching technique and investigated the other properties of glasses. The density of the glasses was measured using Archimedes’ principle; the molar volume of the glasses has been derived from density measurements data. The hardness of glasses sample was measured by using the Vickers hardness. Mass attenuation coefficients have been determined experimentally for the glass system at photon energy 662 keV, the results compared with theoretical calculations from WinXCom computer software. The reported data should be useful for decision chosen of these glasses in radiation shielding.
