Abstract

A set of glasses composed of seven samples was prepared using the fast cooling mechanism for glass preparation. The synthesis processes based on the molar chemical formula; (60 − x) mole% B2O3—x mole% P2O5—25 mol% Na2O—15 mol% FeO, where x = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mol%. The obtained samples represented three different types of oxide glasses, pure borate glass (x = 0), Borophosphate glass (x = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50), and pure phosphate glass (x = 60). FTIR showed the non-crystalline natures of the as-prepared samples, and also, showed that some Iron cations share the tetrahedral glass positions as FeO4 to act as a glass network formers. At the same time, some other occupied the octahedral vacancies as FeO6 to act as a glass network modifiers. As B2O3 replaced by P2O5, all the density, molar volume, calculated static refractive index, and metallization factor increased. The Phy-X/PSD software was used to study the gamma attenuation and buildup parameters EBF and EABF for the studied glasses in the range of photon energy from 0.015 to 15 MeV. Phosphate-rich glasses showed comparable shielding ability concerning some standard glass samples (RS-253-G18, RS-360, and RS-520).
