The role of lead oxides in the enhancement the radiation shielding properties and physical properties of barium cadmium borate glasses
摘要
xPbO – (10-x)BaO – 40CdO – 50B2O3 where x = 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 mol% (Pb0-Pb4) glasses have been synthesized using high purity grade of Pb3O4, BaCO3, CdCO3 and H3BO3. The density, molar volume, UV–visible, and infrared spectra have been investigated. The capability of such glasses as neutron and photon shielding materials was estimated via Phy-X/PSD program. With the addition of PbO the density increases, while the molar volume reduced. The average boron
