Abstract
X-ray, Ultraviolet and Fourier Transform infrared spectral properties of tungsten ions doped in a host lead borate glass have a composition [60%PbO and 40%B2O3 weight%] was studied. Effect of gamma irradiation on the prepared glass samples was surveyed. Amorphization of the studied glass samples have been checked by X ray. Deep inspection for density, molar volume, UV and FTIR for base glass and tungsten oxide with different concentrations (0.15-2.28) weight% proved that the tungsten ions are pronounced as structural groups mostly in the hexavalent W6+. The constancy of optical absorption spectral curves reversed the shielding behavior for this combined glass towards successive gamma irradiation. Glasses containing high lead oxide content are extensively used for multi-applications including lead crystal glass and some special optical glasses, low-melting solder glasses and radiation protection windows and even in immobilization of radioactive nuclear wastes.
