Abstract
A series of zinc lead silicate glass having compositions: 60SiO2—35Pb3O4—(5-x) ZnO-xNb2O5 where ( 0≤x≥5 ) mol% were successfully fabricated, by applying the melt-quenching technique. The density of these glasses increased from 5.91, gcm−3 for ZSPNb-0 to 6.782, gcm−3 for ZSPNb-5. Using ultrasonic velocity ( VL ) and ( VT ) data from the ultrasonic technique, elastic moduli and microhardness were computed. Both ( VL ) and ( VT ) increased, going from 4935 to 5215 m s−1 and 2520 to 2845 m s−1, respectively. Because of these results, the glass’s elastic moduli increase, and its structure becomes more rigid. The optical description Eg, n, α o, ε r, χ(3), n2, M, T and further were researched. Totally, the optical considerations are persuaded by alter niobium contents in the present specimens. As the concentration of Nb2O5 in the glass increases, (LAC) is also increased, while (HVL), and (MFP) decreased. This means that ZSPNb glass with higher Nb2O5 content becomes more effective at attenuating or reducing the intensity of gamma radiation. Such enhanced radiation-shielding properties make ZSPNb glass a promising material for potential applications in radiation shielding.
