Structural, thermal and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic properties of boro-tellurite based quaternary glass system

The structural, functional and thermal properties of the TeZnCaB glass system were investigated in this work. The thermal properties of the glass system were studied using DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), and the glass transition temperature (Tg) decreased from 470 °C to 438 °C with increasing TeO2 concentration. The vibrational and bending modes of the TeZnCaB glass samples were depicted by Raman spectroscopy analysis. FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) was performed to investigate the functional groups of TeO2 and B2O3 in the samples. The TeZnCaB glass samples consist of TeO3, TeO4, BO4 and BO3 structural units. XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) was investigated to reveal information about the chemical environment and the creation of NBO (non-bridging oxygen) and BO (bridging oxygen) for the different glass systems. The high-resolution Te3d spectrum confirms the presence of various tellurium-based structural units such as TeO4, TeO3, and TeO3+1. The deconvolution of B1s spectra confirmed the existence of two forms of boron (B) such as BO4 (four coordination) and BO3 (three coordination) in the TeZnCaB glass system.

High thermal stability molybdenum-Boosted lithium tellurite glass for radiation shielding

A novel glass system was developed using the melt-quenching technique. The primary aim was to investigate molybdenum-rich compositions (MoO3 > Li2O), with the general formula (69–2x) TeO2–(31+x)–MoO3–xLi2O (where x = 0, 5, 10, and 15 mol%). The physical, structural, thermal, mechanical and radiation shielding properties were evaluated. The synthesized glasses were characterized through their densities, molar volumes, and oxygen packing density, which revealed that the density and molar volume decreased as the amount of Li2O and MoO3 increased in the glass structure, while the oxygen packing density increased as a function of both Li2O and MoO3. Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze the glass structure, which showed a superimposed reduction of all Te units due to the formation of Te–O–Mo and a coordination change from MoO4 to MoO6. The interplay between Li2O and MoO3 has a direct effect on the thermal stability of the glass and reveals that glasses with higher MoO3 content and lower Li2O content exhibit enhanced thermal stability. The mass attenuation coefficient for the synthesized systems varied from 37.07 to 32.38 cm2 g−1 at 0.015 MeV. The fast neutrons removal cross-section exhibits a range from 0.090 to 0.096 cm−1 across all samples, while the thermal neutrons cross section values lie within the interval of 1.22–8.16 cm−1. The glass sample with the highest concentration of TeO2 showed superior values of mass attenuation, and fast neutrons removal cross-section, along with the lowest values of half value layer and mean free path. Nevertheless, the addition of MoO3 and Li2O improved thermal stability and led to adequate radiation protection levels. The results indicate the significant potential of MoO3-rich tellurite materials for shielding against gamma-ray and neutron radiation.

Effect of mixed TeO2–B2O3 glass former in Ho3+/Yb3+-doped glass system: Raman spectroscopy, Judd-Ofelt and luminescence investigations

In this work, glass with composition (75-x)B2O3-xTeO2-11Bi2O3–10Li2O-1Ho2O3-3Yb2O3 (x = 10–60 mol%) were synthesized using the melt quenching technique to investigate the effect of mixed glass former between TeO2 and B2O3 on the spectroscopic properties of glass. The Raman Spectroscopy has revealed a structural depolymerization undergone by the glasses with a sudden increment at x = 30 mol% that might arise from structural competition between TeO2 and B2O3. Optical absorption spectra have revealed 9 absorption peaks corresponding to Ho3+ ion transitions while one peak belongs to Yb3+ ion transition. The bonding parameter signifies the glasses are ionic in nature. The oscillator strength and Judd-Ofelt parameter Ω2,4,6 have reduced against increment of TeO2 concentration indicated a low asymmetry and low rigidity except for x = 30 mol% that may be due to strong interaction between TeO2 and B2O3. The radiative properties such as spontaneous emission probability, branching ratio, radiative lifetime and stimulated emission cross-section have showcased the glass potential for laser application. The luminescence spectra of studied glasses upon 450 nm excitation have disclosed two main emission bands which are 530 nm and 642 nm that corresponding to 5F4–5I8 and 5F5–5I8, of Ho3+ respectively whilst an extra emission recorded at 738 nm was ascribed to 5F4–5I7 of Ho3+ due to energy transfer process from Yb3+ to Ho3+. The emission intensity of the samples has enhanced with the TeO2 addition due to reduction of phonon energy. CIE 1931 diagram has shown a greener emission colour of glass samples over TeO2 addition.

X-ray attenuation performance of a newly synthesized tellurium based lead-free radiation shielding glass system

The lead-free quaternary glass systems containing B2O3–CaO–ZnO–TeO2 were synthesized using the traditional melt-quenching method. XRD analysis confirmed that the TeZnCaB glass system exhibited an amorphous behaviour. The density of the glass samples was increased from 3.48 g/cc to 4.08 g/cc by increasing the TeO2 concentration from 20 to 45 mol%. From UV–visible spectroscopy, it was observed that direct and indirect energy band gaps decreased with increasing the TeO2 concentration whereas the refractive index increased. TEM analysis revealed the amorphous behaviour along with nanocrystals present in the glass sample. X-ray attenuation measurements were performed to assess the radiation shielding properties of the lead-free glass system and observed that the radiation shielding capacity was increased with the TeO2 concentration. The best lead equivalent thickness was 2.02 mm for the sample with 45% TeO2 and these glasses could be promising materials for medical diagnostic applications.

Physical and radiation shielding properties for borate, boro-tellurite, and tellurite glass system modified with different modifiers: Comparative study

Two newly synthesized glass series, 10Bi2O3-20BaO-(70-x)B2O3-xTeO2, and 10MoO3-20SrO-(70-x)B2O3-xTeO2, where x = 0, 35, and 70 mol%, were fabricated using the melt-quenching technique. The fabricated glass samples' physical properties and radiation shielding capabilities were examined. The insertion of TeO2 into the glass composition increased the density values, with the glass samples labeled BBB-T70 (6.53 g/cm3) and SBM-T70 (5.66 g/cm3) exhibiting the highest density due to the increased concentration of TeO2. The addition of TeO2 led to loosely bonded glasses, indicating lower glass stability. Using SRIM and Phy-X/PSD software, the radiation shielding capabilities of the produced samples were investigated for various radiation types, including alpha particles, protons, neutrons, and gamma rays. The increase in TeO2 content and the reduction in B2O3 revealed significant increases in the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) values and improved gamma shielding properties. For example, the LAC values at 0.283 MeV are 0.283, 0.367, 0.667, 0.902, 1.095, 1.313, and 1.55315 cm−1 for SBM-T00, SBM-T35, SBM-T70, BBB-T00, BBB-T53, and BBB-T70, respectively. However, the SBM-T00 sample exhibited lower charged particle shielding properties. The SBT-T35 and BBB-T00 samples showed the highest ability to stop fast neutrons. In conclusion, the glass samples synthesized in this work are highly recommended for shielding against various ionizing radiation sources.

Effect of WO3 on the attenuation parameters of TeO2–La2O3-WO3 glasses for radiation shielding application

The attenuation capability of tellurite glasses with composition of (100-x)TeO2–5La2O3-xWO3 where x = 10, 15, 20, and 25% was analyzed. Radiation attenuation parameters such as mass, linear attenuation coefficients (MAC, LAC) and effective atomic number were determined at various energies. The S4 glass sample, which contains the highest WO3 content and smallest TeO2 concentration, has the greatest MAC at all energies. The glasses with the highest densities also have the highest LAC values, with greater WO3 content leading to greater density in the glass system. The half value layer (HVL) values of the samples are positively proportional with the energy of the incoming radiation, greatest at the highest tested energy. The ratio between the tenth value layer (TVL) values for S1 and S4 are greater than one at all energies, which means that S1's TVL, the glass with the smallest WO3 content, is higher than S4's TVL. The mean free path values were shown to have an inverse trend with the WO3 content in the samples. The S4 sample, the glass with the highest WO3 content and lowest TeO2 content, has the greatest Zeff at all energies.

Effective 3.9 μm emission in fluorotellurate glass with Ho3+: Highly doping

The ∼3.9 μm mid-infrared (MIR) laser based on high concentration Ho3+ doped fluoride glass possesses unique advantages, but its low thermal stability does not meet the requirements of the MIR laser technology for optoelectronic device materials. In this paper, fluorotellurate glass with TeO2 and high doping concentration of Ho3+ was prepared. The excellent thermodynamic properties (ΔT = 108 °C) and low phonon energy (799 cm−1) render the matrix a promising candidate for the development of laser gain medium doped with Ho3+: ∼3.9 μm. The calculated theoretical parameters and the measured spectral information confirm that the scheme of ∼3.9 μm luminescence by high doping of Ho3+ in the fluorotellurate glass matrix is reasonable and effective.

Experimental assessment for the photon shielding features of silicone rubber reinforced by tellurium borate oxides

In the present study, six silicone rubber doped by tellurium borate oxides were fabricated using the casting method. The densities of the fabricated silicon rubber-doped by tellurium borate oxides samples were measured using the Archimedes Method. Moreover, the linear attenuation coefficient of silicone rubber doped tellurium borate oxides samples was evaluated experimentally using the hyper pure germanium, and the recorded linear attenuation coefficient values were affirmed using the theoretical Phy-X program. The experimental measurements were performed using the narrow beam transmission method with radioactive isotopes Am-241, Cs-137, and Co-60 with energies of 59, 661, 1173, and 1332 keV. The linear attenuation coefficient values showed an enhancement by 4.73 times, 1.20 time, 1.17, time, and 1.17 time, respectively at gamma photon energies of 59, 661, 1173, and 1332 keV, when the TeO2 concentration increased in the fabricated composites from 0 to 50 wt%. The enhancement of the linear attenuation coefficient values has a positive effect on the transmission rate values where the half-value thickness and transmission rate were decreased accompanied by an increase in the RPE.

Physical, structural, elastic and optical investigations on Dy3+ ions doped boro-tellurite glasses for radiation attenuation application

A set of Dy3+ ions doped boro-tellurite glasses is prepared using the melt quenching method and its radiation resisting aptitude is estimated through various structural and elastic features. The results were interpreted due to the effect of TeO2 concentration in the glass systems. The observed molar volume (Vm) values reduced with the rise in the tellurium content with the creation of more bridging oxygens in the structure. The cross-link density rises the rigidity of the glass and its density. Additionally, boron-boron separation and tellurium-tellurium separation, and optical band gap were computed to prove the connectivity of the system which is noted to reduce with the rise in the tellurium content. Glass with 40% TeO2 is observed to hold high elastic moduli and consequently high density and connectivity which are vital requirements for effective radiation shielding. Moreover, the Monte Carlo N-Particle transport code version 5 is used to qualify the γ-ray shielding properties. The qualification of the shielding properties showed that the linear attenuation coefficient was enhanced by a factor of 80% from 0.248 cm−1 to 0.358 cm−1 by raising the TeO2 concentration between 0 and 40 wt %, respectively. The enhancement on linear attenuation coefficient was reflected on the half value thickness (Δ0.5, cm) and thickness equivalent (Δeq, cm) of the fabricated samples where Δ0.5 and Δeq values reduced with raising the TeO2 concentration between 0 and 40 wt %.

Correlation between the concentration of TeO2 and the radiation shielding properties in the TeO2–MoO3–V2O5 glass system

We investigated the radiation shielding competence for TeO2–V2O5–MoO3 glasses. The Phy-X software was used to report the radiation shielding parameters for the present glasses. With an increase in TeO2 and MoO3 content, the samples' linear attenuation coefficient improves. However, at low energies, this change is more apparent. At low energy, the present samples have an effective atomic number (Zeff) that is relatively high (in order of 16.17–24.48 at 0.347 MeV). In addition, the findings demonstrated that the density of the samples is a very critical factor in determining the half value layer (HVL). The minimal HVL for each sample can be found at 0.347 MeV and corresponds to 1.776, 1.519, 1.391, 1.210 and 1.167 cm for Te1 to Te5 respectively. However, the highest HVL of these glasses is recorded at 1.33 MeV, which corresponds to 3.773, 3.365, 3.218, 2.925 and 2.908 cm respectively. The tenth value layer results indicate that the thickness of the specimens needs to be increased in order to shield the photons that have a greater energy. Also, the TVL results demonstrated that the sample with the greatest TeO2 and MoO3 concentration has a higher capacity to attenuate photons.

Impact of TeO2–B2O3 manipulation on physical, structural, optical and radiation shielding properties of Ho/Yb codoped mixed glass former borotellurite glass

In this work, (75-x)B2O3-xTeO2-11Bi2O3–10Li2O-1Ho2O3-3Yb2O3 (x = 10–60 mol%) mixed glass former (MGF) glasses were prepared by using the melt-quenching method to investigate the effect of mixed glass former between B2O3 and TeO2 on the structural, optical and radiation shielding properties of glass. The amorphous nature of the glass samples was confirmed through XRD measurement. Optical ultraviolet–visible light (UV–Vis) spectroscopy revealed that the direct and indirect optical band gap (Eopt) decreased as TeO2 content increased except for the anomaly at x = 30 mol% due to the interchanging dominance of bridging oxygen (BO) and non-bridging oxygen (NBO) in the glass network. Both direct and indirect refractive indices, n posted an increment except for x = 30 mol% due to polarizability influence of BO and NBO. Urbach energy, Eu declined thus indicating lesser disorder and less defects on the glass structure. The radiation shielding properties of the glass samples were determined for 15 keV–15 MeV photon energy range by using Phy-X/PSD software. Atomic number-dependent parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) and effective atomic number (Zeff) demonstrated an enhanced performances caused by higher Z of Te over B. Meanwhile, density-dependent parameters such as linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), mean-free path (MFP), half-value layer (HVL) and tenth-value layer (TVL) all exhibited an improvement over TeO2 concentration due to higher density data obtained.

TeO2 for enhancing structural, mechanical, optical, gamma and neutron radiation shielding performance of bismuth borosilicate glasses

The synthesized 12Bi2O3– 8BaO–12ZnO-0.5CeO2-17.5SiO2- (50-x) B2O3- xTeO2 glasses with x = 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mol% (coded BiTe-0 to BiTe-40) were investigated in terms of physical, structural, optical and mechanical properties to examine the influence of CeO2 and TeO2 on the heavy metal oxide (HMO) borosilicate network. Density values increased continuously with increasing TeO2 concentration with BiTe-40 glass exhibiting maximum value of 5.0875 gcm−3. This property helped in enhancement of refractive index values from 1.769 for BiTe-0 to 1.942 for BiTe-40. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis of studied glasses revealed the presence of additional small peak at 683 cm−1 in BiTe-30 and BiTe-40 which confirmed the formation of stable TeO4 units in the glass network. The deep brown colour of the glass existing due to bismuth's presence was nullified by CeO2 and TeO2 additives which improved transparency of the glass. Urbach analysis of these glasses led to optical bandgap variation between 3.27 eV and 2.73 eV for 0–40 mol% TeO2 concentration. Makishima and Mackenzie model was utilized for evaluation of elastic property of the glasses, and Poisson's ratio ranging between 1.935 and 1.953 was obtained. Vickers micro-indentation test on the current glasses revealed decreasing microhardness from 4.116 to 4.076 GPa with TeO2 variation from 0 to 40 mol% at 9.8 N load. Gamma radiation shielding parameters were determined using Phy-X/PSD software and it was found that BiTe-40 glass produce maximum MAC (mass attenuation co-efficient) values in high photon energy region 3.5–15 MeV. The present article also contains a detailed emphasis on behaviour of gamma radiation build-up factors at different incident photon energy and TeO2 concentration. The increasing trend of exposure build up factor (EBF) was seen with increasing penetration depth inside the samples at all energies, indicating that glasses of larger thickness improve the escape probability of photons. Meanwhile, fast neutron removal cross-section (FNRCS) was highest for BiTe-10 sample (0.10118 cm−1) which also surpassed the value of ordinary concrete (0.093 cm−1). Overall, the present glass system bested other conventional shields available commercially in terms of gamma and neutron radiation shielding effectiveness.

Synthesis and characterization of the optical MgO-BaO-B2O3-TeO2-MnO2 glass system

The paper reports on the preparation and characterization of the optical 15MgO-15BaO-(59.5-x)B2O3-(10+x)TeO2 glass system, with (x = 0 (MBBMn-1), 10 (MBBMn-2), 20 (MBBMn-3), and 30 mol% (MBBMn-4)). Using the melt-quench experimental synthesis method, we prepared our glass system and the influence of TeO2 on the physical, structural, optical, and radiation shielding properties were studied. The bandgap (Eopt), Urbach energy (∆E), refractive index (n), and other parameters were calculated using UV data. The stopping power and range of electron, proton, α-particle and carbon ion were estimated for kinetic energies 0.015–15 MeV. Also, the fat and thermal neutron cross sections were estimated following the standard procedures. The structural evaluation of the glass network as well as the functional groups inherent in the structure was explored using FTIR and Raman spectra. At particle energy of 15 MeV, the range of electron was estimated as 25.89, 22.47, 20.49, and 19.79 mm in MBBMn-1–MBBMn-4 respectively. Also, for proton, α-particle, and carbon ion the projected range was 1080, 100.02 and 10.67 µm in MBBMN-1; 1030, 96.86, and 10.44 µm in MBBMN-2; 986, 93.95, 10.26 µm in MBBMN-3; and 942, 91.03, and 10 µm in MBBMN-4. The fast neutron removal cross section was 0.1069, 0.1066, 0.1063, and 0.1044 cm-1 for MBBMn-1 – MBBMn-4 in that order while the total cross section of thermal neutrons declined from 95.7025 to 74.8538 as the molar concentration of TeO2 increased from 10 to 40 mol% in the MBBMn glasses.

TeO2–SiO2–B2O3 glasses doped with CeO2 for gamma radiation shielding and dosimetry application

Bismuth borosilicate glasses doped with 0.5 mol% of CeO2 and increasing concentration of TeO2 (0–40 mol%) are synthesized by melt quench method with 12500C melting temperature, then coded as BiTe glasses. Theoretical values of parameters related gamma radiation shielding such as linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) and mean free path (MFP) are determined from Phy-X/PSD software in the radiation energy range of 0.015–15 MeV. We have achieved greater density value of around 5 gcm−3 and highest set of LAC values 314–0.2 cm−1 for BiTe-40 glass along with lowest range 0.002–3.8 cm of HVL thickness. On gamma irradiation, there was a notable enhancement in thermoluminescence (TL) intensity for TeO2 content greater than 30 mol% due to increase in density of trap centres. CeO2 incorporation has also contributed to increasing density of trap centres. The kinetic parameters were evaluated with the help of glow curve deconvolution technique from which the calculated activation energy was highest (1.652 eV) for BiTe-40 glass with longer lifetime (6.34 × 106 years) of charges trapped in high temperature region of 559 K.

The role of TeO2 insertion on the radiation shielding, structural and physical properties of borosilicate glasses

In the present study, it is aimed to be produced glass materials for radiation shielding by adding different proportions (0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mol%) of TeO2 to (79.5-x)SiO2-2.5Al2O3-5Na2O-13B2O3-xTeO2 borosilicate glasses (BS). The BS-TeO2 glasses were prepared by melt quenching method using TeO2 and BS powders. The produced glasses' fundamental structural properties were investigated using XRD, UV-vis, and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. XRD patterns of the all prepared glass samples exhibited amorphous structure. The number of energy transitions in the UV-vis spectrum increased depending on the concentration of TeO2. Furthermore, produced glasses' physical and mechanical properties were evaluated by calculating the bond strength, packing density, bridged oxygen numbers, and molar oxygen volume. Also, the gamma-ray shielding parameters (mass attenuation coefficient, effective atomic number, electron density, mean free path, half-value layer, and radiation protection efficiency) of the glasses were measured at photon energies in the range of 53.16-661.62 keV using a U-LEGe detector with high resolution. The mass attenuation coefficients of BS-TeO2 glasses were calculated at the same energies by using the MCNP5 code. The obtained values were compared with XCOM data, and a very good agreement was achieved between MCNP5 and XCOM. These results showed that the sample containing 0.2 mol % TeO2 was the best photon attenuation ability among other samples.

Impact of replacement of B2O3 by TeO2 on the physical, optical and gamma ray shielding characteristics of Pb-free B2O3-TeO2-ZnO-Al2O3-Li2O-MgO glass system

A study has been conducted to determine the effect of replacing B2O3 with TeO2 on the physical and optical properties of a Pb-free B2O3-TeO2-ZnO-Al2O3-Li2O-MgO glass system, as well as the system's gamma-ray shielding capabilities. The optical basicity of the manufactured glass samples is increased from 0.577 to 0.862, which is a significant improvement. As the quantity of oxygen atoms in the produced glass samples diminishes, the oxygen packing density varies between 102.978 and 78.351, depending on the sample size. The energy of the optical band gap ranges between 3.878 eV and 2.21 eV. The refractive index, dielectric constant, and optical dielectric constant all rise as the amount of TeO2 in the material increases. The values of molar refractivity (Rm) and electronic polarizability (αm) have been shown to decrease as the amount of TeO2 in the sample has increased. The radiation protection efficiency RPE (%) for the glasses was reported at 0.356 MeV. We compared the RPE (%) for the glasses with lowest and highest TeO2 content and we found that the RPE values for the Te10 and Te60 glasses are 8% and 13% respectively (this is for a thickness of 0.25 cm). Also, we found that the RPE of the Te10 glass becomes 35% and that of the Te60 glass is 51% when the thickness of both the glasses is increased to 1.25 cm. The effective atomic number (Zeff) for the glasses was reported at 0.356 MeV. The Zeff of the glass system showed an upward trend with TeO2 concentration.

Improving luminescence behavior and glass stability of tellurium‐doped germanate glasses by modifying network topology

AbstractBroadband near‐infrared (NIR) luminescent materials are of great interest for their potential application in optical communication, remote sensing, imaging, and homeland security. Tellurium (Te) doped glasses were recently recognized as such a promising candidate due to their broadband NIR emission (700–1700 nm). However, the achievement of Te‐doped glasses with high luminescence efficiency and glass stability (GS) remains a daunting challenge. Here, the luminescence behavior and GS of Te‐doped germanate glasses are manipulated by tailoring the glass network topology. Te NIR luminescence is enhanced by tailoring topological cages in germanate glass network structure through varying glass network modifiers. Meanwhile, the GS of potassium germanate glass is significantly enhanced due to increased network connectivity caused by the co‐introduction of alkaline earth oxides. Finally, NIR luminescence intensity of the glass was further enhanced by optimizing the doping concentration of TeO2. The findings here could contribute to designing Te‐activated glasses with improved performance for application in optical amplifiers and tunable fiber lasers.

Influence of Li2O Incrementation on Mechanical and Gamma-Ray Shielding Characteristics of a TeO2-As2O3-B2O3 Glass System.

According to the Makishema–Mackenzie model assumption, the dissociation energy and packing density for a quaternary TeO2-As2O3-B2O3-Li2O glass system were evaluated. The dissociation energy rose from 67.07 to 71.85 kJ/cm3, whereas the packing factor decreased from 16.55 to 15.21 cm3/mol associated with the replacement of TeO2 by LiO2 compounds. Thus, as a result, the elastic moduli (longitudinal, shear, Young, and bulk) were enhanced by increasing the LiO2 insertion. Based on the estimated elastic moduli, mechanical properties such as the Poisson ratio, microhardness, longitudinal velocity, shear velocity, and softening temperature were evaluated for the investigated glass samples. In order to evaluate the studied glasses’ gamma-ray shield capacity, the MCNP-5 code, as well as a theoretical Phy-X/PSD program, were applied. The best shielding capacity was achieved for the glass system containing 25 mol% of TeO2, while the lowest ability was obtained for the glass sample with a TeO2 concentration of 5 mol%. Furthermore, a correlation between the studied glasses’ microhardness and linear attenuation coefficient was performed versus the LiO2 concentration to select the glass sample which possesses a suitable mechanical and shielding capacity.

New shielding ZnO-PbO-TeO2 glasses

The effect of PbO and TeO2 concentration on the photon, fast neutron and charged particles shielding capacity of the ternary ZnO-PbO-TeO2 glass systems with the form [(TeO2)0.7-(PbO)0.3]1−x(ZnO)x: x = 0.15–0.25 mol% (TPZ1-TPZ5) glass system was investigated. For this purpose, the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC=μρ) values of the glasses were produced with MCNPX codes and WinXCOM program in the wide energy range of 0.015–15 MeV. Due to the high PbO and TeO2 contributions, the largest MAC values were obtained for the TPZ5 glass. Then important gamma parameters such as effective atomic number, half value layer, effective electron density, equivalent atomic number, and exposure and energy absorption buildup factors (Zeff, HVL, Nel, Zeq and EBF and EABF) were also calculated for TPZ glasses. While the highest Zeff values were found for TPZ5 glass, changing between 48.43 and 51.01, the lowest HVL, EABF and EBF values were calculated for TPZ5 glass. As can be seen from the removal cross section, mass stopping power, and projected range (ΣR, MSP, and PR) results for TPZ glasses, the TPZ5 glass can also be a good shielding material for fast neutrons and alpha-proton particles. As a result, the hypothesis of the study has been confirmed and we believe that the obtained data from this study will be beneficial for the potential use of Te-based glasses in shielding applications.
