Abstract

The glass system was fabricated using traditional procedures. Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and radiation techniques were used to characterize the glasses. In an experiment, XRD was used to assess the system’s amorphous state. As the density of the manufacturing glasses rises, the molar volume declines. Borosilicate network is unaffected due to incorporation of BaO. With incorporation of BaO, FTIR results show a conversion from BO3 to BO4. The gamma ray shielding constraints were defined using the Phy-X software. Finally, adding BaO to the glass network improved the gamma shielding characteristics. As a result, this glass system should be used to shield against radiation.
