Cerium (IV) oxide reinforced Lithium-Borotellurite glasses: A characterization study through physical, optical, structural and radiation shielding properties

The purpose of this study was to characterize the structural, optical, and physical properties various kinds glasses based on 50TeO 2 –30B O 3 -(20-x)Li O-xCeO system (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20). Consequently, ten glass samples were produced by melting-annealing. Calculations densities synthesized performed using Archimedes technique. sample's physical, radiation interaction determined XRD analysis, Raman spectroscopy, advanced modelling techniques with FLUKA code, yielding optical band gap, refractive index, Urbach energy values. By increasing CeO reinforcement from 0 20 mol %, rose 4.0614 4.7519 g cm ?3 . transmittance spectra TBLC found in range 200–1100 nm. Our findings showed that lowest belonged TBLC1 sample, highest TBLC20 sample. When ratio raised, absorption characteristics changed nearly monotonically, suggesting these qualities may be calculated controlled additive, as shown experiment. substituting for Li inside structure, it possible substantially enhance gap. Additionally, at simulated energies greater than 0.02 MeV, gamma-ray linear attenuation coefficient rises monotonically reinforcement. coefficients reported 125.843 ?1 , 127.601 129.211 132.312 135.166 138.705 141.288 156.690 172.393 186.811 TBLC0, TBLC0.5, TBLC1, TBLC2, TBLC3, TBLC4, TBLC5, TBL10, TBLC15 0.015 respectively. It can concluded combination high-concentration TeO –B is an excellent synergetic tool combining when combined other materials.
