Theoretical Investigation on Radiation Properties of Calcium-Silico-Borate Glasses Doped with Varying Lu₂O₃ Concentration

Abstract:

In this work, the well-known program WinXCom have been performed over 1 keV to 20 MeV to obtain the radiation properties (in case of theoretical calculation) of calcium-silico-borate glass system containing Lu₂O₃ in the composition of xLu₂O₃ : 10.0CaO : 10.0SiO₂ : (80.0-x)B₂O₃ with x are Lu₂O₃ concentrations varying from 0.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, and 25.0 mol%. The total mass attenuation and partial attenuation coefficients have been studied as functions of chemical compositions and incoming photon energies. In addition, the obtained data were then used to compute the effective atomic numbers and effective electron densities. The calculated results show the variation of both parameters with photon energy.
