Description
In this study, the effect of radiation ionization on various glass compositions—40SrO–30B₂O₃–10TeO₂–20Bi₂O₃, 35SrO–30B₂O₃–10TeO₂–25Bi₂O₃, 30SrO–30B₂O₃–10TeO₂–30Bi₂O₃, 25SrO–30B₂O₃–10TeO₂–35Bi₂O₃, and 20SrO–30B₂O₃–10TeO₂–40Bi₂O₃—was investigated using Phy-X/PSD and XCOM simulation software, and validated with GEANT4 simulations. In the high-energy range of 1 MeV to 15 MeV, the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), and effective atomic number (Z_eff) were calculated for each glass sample. The results indicate that increasing the Bi₂O₃ concentration enhances the radiation shielding capability of the glasses. Additionally, parameters such as half-value layer (HVL), tenth-value layer (TVL), and mean free path (MFP) were analyzed. The findings show that glasses with higher Bi₂O₃ content attenuate more photons at smaller thicknesses. Notably, the 20SrO–30B₂O₃–10TeO₂–40Bi₂O₃ composition demonstrated superior radiation shielding performance compared to other materials previously studied.
