Investigation on the effect of Bismuth concentration towards radiation shielding properties in Ag-embedded Borobismuthate mixed ionic electronic glass system / Nurul Atika Mohd Khalid … [et al.]
In this study, 20Li2O–xBi2O3–(79-x)B2O3–1Ag glasses for x=3,5,7,9, and 11 mol % glasses were prepared by using the melt quenching technique to investigate radiation shielding properties of the glasses using Phy-X/PSD simulation program at 15 keV to 15 MeV photon energy range. The radiation shielding...
