Abstract |
|
|
| Some of the nickel borate-based glasses, containing lead and lanthanum cations as gamma-ray shielding, were prepared using traditional melting method. XRD patterns confirm the non-crystallinity of the samples. According to FTIR, with lead entering the structural network, the structural groups of BO4 and PbO4 increased, and the structural network became more stable and able to absorb gamma rays. Theoretical studies showed agreement with the experimental, and the attenuation parameters of these samples proved that they are capable of absorbing gamma rays with a thickness lighter than ordinary concrete. |
