Radiation shielding characterizations and investigation of TeO2–WO3–Bi2O3 and TeO2–WO3–PbO glasses

This study aims to the radiation shielding features of TeO2–WO3–RO systems (where RO =PbO and Bi2O3). The glasses were theoretically evaluated by using simulation code Phy–X/PSD. Four TeO2–WO3–Bi2O3 three TeO2–WO3–PbO tested in this study. linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), mass (MAC), effective atomic number (Zeff), half value layer (HVL), tenth (TVL), mean free path (MFP) calculated analyzed. WTeBi3 WTeBi4 have greatest LAC MAC values at all energies, while WTePb1 had least values. At 0.347 MeV, is equal 0.115 0.117, 0.107 cm2/g for WTeBi3, WTeBi4, WTePb1, respectively. Zeff decreased increased based on photon interaction phenomena present low, medium, high energy ranges. WTeBi2 has HVL, 2.070 cm 2.594 1.333 2.506 respectively, least, 1.943 2.532 same TVL followed order < WTePb2 WTePb3 WTeBi1 both energies. MFPs observed selected energy, MeV. compared against each other with some determine most attenuator.
