Three zinc barium-borate glasses were produced in the current work, incorporating different metal oxides (MO) (CaO, TiO, and CuO) via the melt quenching technique under a 1100 °C melting temperature for 60 min. The fabricated samples' density is 4.112 g/cm, 4.157 g/cm, and 4.261 g/cm for glasses dopped with CaO, TiO, and CuO, respectively. Additionally, the Makishima-Mackenzie model was employed to evaluate the effect of metal oxides on the fabricated glasses' mechanical properties. The study shows that the glasses with TiO have the highest mechanical moduli and microhardness which reach 4.67 GPa. The gamma-ray shielding properties in the 0.033–2.506 MeV energy interval were estimated by applying Monte Carlo simulation. The study demonstrates that the glass samples containing CuO exhibit the highest linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) when compared to the glasses containing Ca and TiO compounds. The LAC of the CuO-doped glasses varied between 28.367 cm and 0.163 cm when the photon energy was raised between 0.033 MeV and 2.506 MeV. Also, the study shows good shielding parameters (half-value layer, lead's equivalent thickness, and radiation protection efficiency) for the glasses doped CuO compared to glasses doped Ca and TiO.

不同金属氧化物对硼酸盐玻璃辐射屏蔽性能的影响

目前的工作中生产了三种硼酸锌钡玻璃，通过熔融淬火技术在 1100 °C 的熔化温度下混合不同的金属氧化物 (MO)（CaO、TiO 和 CuO）60 分钟。对于掺杂 CaO、TiO 和 CuO 的玻璃，制备的样品密度分别为 4.112 g/cm3、4.157 g/cm3 和 4.261 g/cm3。此外，还采用 Makishima-Mackenzie 模型来评估金属氧化物对制造的玻璃机械性能的影响。研究表明，含有TiO的玻璃具有最高的机械模量和显微硬度，达到4.67 GPa。通过应用蒙特卡罗模拟估计了 0.033–2.506 MeV 能量区间的伽马射线屏蔽特性。研究表明，与含有 Ca 和 TiO 化合物的玻璃相比，含有 CuO 的玻璃样品表现出最高的线性衰减系数 (LAC)。当光子能量提高到 0.033 MeV 到 2.506 MeV 之间时，CuO 掺杂玻璃的 LAC 在 28.367 cm 到 0.163 cm 之间变化。此外，研究还表明，与掺杂 Ca 和 TiO 的玻璃相比，掺杂 CuO 的玻璃具有良好的屏蔽参数（半值层、铅等效厚度和辐射防护效率）。
