Impact of Al2O3 and Dy2O3 Substitution on the Physical, Structural, and Radiation Shielding Properties of Li2O-B2O3 Glass System

A new series of lithium-borate glass systems (23Li2O-72B2O3 in mol%) were synthesized with the substitution Al2O3 (5 mol.%) as a modifier and doped 0.3 0.5 mol% Dy2O3. Four glasses (S1, S2, S3 S4) via conventional melt-quenching technique characterized by using UV-Visible-NIR absorption spectrometer Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The current investigation gives further insight on structural optical properties samples. diffraction spectrum obtained from X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis shows no typical peaks system, which indicates its amorphous phase. Al3+ Dy3+ ions evaluated found that there is pivot effect for addition Dy2O3 system. Notably, sample S2 different behaviours physical, structural, compared other prepared samples can be attributed to increment Al2O3. Besides, physical ionizing shielding features investigated radiation examined within energy range 0.015 until 15 MeV. S4 has optimum result Hence, composition attributes system used various applications such dosimeter photon materials.
