  First-ever fusion of high entropy alloy (HEA) with glass: Enhancing of critical properties of zinc-tellurite glass through TiZrNbHfTaOx incorporation

  Many oxide additives have historically been used to enhance the radiation shielding properties of glasses, yet the potential of high-entropy oxides (HEOs), which have gained popularity in material science for their unique properties, has not been explored in this context. This study is the first to investigate the radiation shielding capabilities of Zinc-Tellurite glass infused with High Entropy Oxide (HEO), specifically utilizing the novel attributes of a synthesized TiZrNbHfTa. In this study, the nuclear shielding properties of newly fabricated Zinc-Tellurite glasses doped with TiZrNbHfTaOx with a composition (25ZnO·75TeO2)100-x. (TiZrNbHfTaOx)x (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 mol%) were studied. Through the synthesis of a TiZrNbHfTa HEA and its integration into glass structure, we have developed a series of novel materials with enhanced protective properties against both gamma-ray and neutron radiation. Experimental results demonstrate that the HEO-infused glass, particularly the HEC1-4 composition, significantly surpasses traditional shielding materials in neutron attenuation, evidenced by its superior effective neutron removal cross-section. Additionally, the HEC1-4 glass demonstrates improved gamma-ray shielding capabilities, with increased mass attenuation coefficients and decreased half-value layers, indicating a higher capacity for photon interaction and absorption. It can be concluded that the incorporation of High Entropy Alloys into glass matrices not only opens a new frontier in radiation shielding materials but also provides a versatile and effective solution with considerable potential for enhancing safety measures in radiation-prone environments.

  Investigation of the radiation shielding capability of xPbO – (50 - x) BaO – 50 B 2O 3 glass system using Geant4, Fluka, WinXCOM and comparison of data with the experimental data

  Aşkin, A.; Mutuwong, C.; Nutaro, T.; Dal, M.

  In this study, mass attenuation coefficient (μm), transmission fractions (T), effective atomic numbers (Z eff) and half-value layer (HVL) of the xPbO –(50 - x) BaO –50 B 2O 3 (where x=10,20,30,40mol%) glass system have been determined from the Monte Carlo simulations carried out with Geant4 and Fluka simulation toolkits and WinXCOM database software. The calculated results were compared with the experimentally obtained μm values of the selected glass in order to validate the Geant4 model of HPGe detector and Fluka model of NaI(Tl) detectors. T, Z eff and HVL shielding parameters of the studied glass system indicate that increase of PbO content from 10 to 40% results in a better shielding behaviour thanks to the high atomic number of lead.

  Evaluation of the gamma and neutron shielding properties of 64 TeO 2+ 15 ZnO + (20 - x) CdO + xBaO + 1 V 2O 5 glass system using Geant4 simulation and Phy-X database software

  Aşkin, A.

  In this study, fast neutron removal cross-section and γ-ray shielding capabilities in terms of mass attenuation coefficient (μm), transmission fractions (T), effective atomic numbers (Zeff), half-value layer (HVL) and exposure build-up factors (EBF) of the 64 TeO 2+ 15 ZnO + (20 - x) CdO + xBaO + 1 V 2O 5 (x= 0 , 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 mol%) glass system have been evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations carried out with Geant4 model of the high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector and Phy-X database software. The results of this study revealed that γ-ray shielding capability of the studied glass system increases with the increase of BaO content and decrease of CdO content in the chemical structure due to the high atomic number (Z) of Ba compared to Cd. The results also showed that increase of BaO fraction in the glass structure weakens the neutron shielding ability and by the use of low Z elements in the composites better shielding performance against neutrons can be obtained.

  Comprehensive study on the structural, optical, physical and gamma photon shielding features of B2O3-Bi2O3-PbO-TiO2 glasses using WinXCOM and Geant4 code

  Sayyed, M.I.; El-Mesady, I.A.; Abouhaswa, A.S.; Askin, A.; Rammah, Y.S.

  Glass samples of titanium-lead bismuth borate with the composition of (60B2O3 – 20Bi2O3 – (20-x)PbO – xTiO2), where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 wt% labeled as BBPT0.0 (x = 0) to BBPT10.0 (x = 10) were synthesized. The melt quenching technique was used in the preparation. The amorphous character and vibrational groups for all samples were confirmed through XRD and FTIR measurements, respectively. The optical band gap (Eopt), Urbach's energy (Eurbach), and the optical dispersion constants have been determined using UV–Vis spectra. Results reveal that the values of the optical band gap energy exhibit a decrease with the TiO2 concentration, in contrast with Urbach's energy which displays a linear increase from 0.43 to 0.64 eV. In addition, the values of single-oscillator energy (Eo) has the same behavior of the optical energy gap (Eopt), while the dispersion energy parameter (Ed) has an inversely behavior. Mass attenuation coefficients (μ/ρ) of the investigated glasses have been computed using the Geant4 simulation toolkit and WinXCOM database software. Geant4 model of a HPGe detector has been employed to perform the Monte Carlo simulations for the glass samples with five thicknesses from 1 to 3 cm at the gamma ray energies in the range of 356–2510 keV. The transmission fractions as a function of the thickness at 356 keV photon energy for all studied glasses has been performed. Half value layer (HVL) was derived from the μ/ρ values. Results showed the studied glasses have good shielding capability according to their mass attenuation coefficients, transmission fractions and HVL values.

  Investigation ofthe gamma ray shielding parameters of (100-x)[0.5Li2O–0.1B2O3–0.4P2O5]-xTeO2 glasses using Geant4 and FLUKA codes

  Aşkın, A.; Sayyed, M.I.; Sharma, Amandeep; Dal, M.; El-Mallawany, R.; Kaçal, M.R.

  In the present work, the radiation shielding proeprties of lithium borophosphtellurite glass system with the composition of (100-x) [0.5Li2O-0.1B2O3–0.4P2O5]-xTeO2 (x = 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mol%) were reported. The mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ) of the selected glass system (LiBPTe0, LiBPTe10, LiBPTe20, LiBPTe30 and LiBPTe40) was calculated at 356 keV, 662 keV, 1173 keV and 1330 keV photon energies by using Geant4 and FLUKA codes and the results were compared to the values obtained theoretically using WinXcom software. The correlation theory has been used to calculate the correlation coefficients (R2) between the results from WinXcom and the both simulations codes (Geant4 and FLUKA) for each sample. Moreover, some other radiation shielding parameters such as effective atomic number, photon transmission, mean free path and half value layer were calculated. The gamma photon transmission results showed that the transmission values of the 356 keV photons are lower than those of energies 662, 1173 and 1330 keV. At 356 keV, the transmission value for LiBPTe0 (at 6 cm thickness) is found to be 0.245 while at the same energy and thickness the transmission value is 0.088 for LiBPTe40. Out of all the glasses considered in present work, LiBPTe40 possesses the highest values of effective atomic number (Zeff). The Zeff values for the present glasses are 8.02, 9.55, 11.16, 12.85 and 14.64 for LiBPTe0, LiBPTe10, LiBPTe20, LiBPTe30 and LiBPTe40 respectively at 356 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient and effetive atomic number results showed that utilization 40% mol of TeO2 significantly improves the gamma ray shielding properties of the selected glass system. The shielding effectiveness of the selected samples was compared with other reference materials namely two radiation shielding glasses and four concretes used in different shielding purposes in terms of the mean free path (MFP) at 356 keV. The results revealed that the MFP of RS-253-G18 is lower than LiBPTe0sample. Moreover, the MFP of ordinary concrete is higher than the MFP of all glasses under examination, thus the investigated tellurite glasses have better attenuation features than the ordinary concrete.
