Design, fabrication, and features investigations of high concentration of Yttrium Oxide doped germanate tellurate borate glass system for optical and radiation shielding application

Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) is a well-known material that could change the glass density and optical properties. For this Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) is a well-known material that could change the glass density and optical properties. For this reason, a set of Y2.5, Y5.0, and Y7.5 have been fabricated with a composition formula of (35-x) B2O3-20TeO2reason, a set of Y2.5, Y5.0, and Y7.5 have been fabricated with a composition formula of (35-x) B2O3-20TeO210GeO2-35MgO-xY2O3, where x = 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5, all in mol%. A temperature of 1100 degrees C for 20 min was used 10GeO2-35MgO-xY2O3, where x = 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5, all in mol%. A temperature of 1100 degrees C for 20 min was used to melt the glass, while 350 degrees C for 5 h was chosen for annealing. The Y7.5 sample was examined by XRD (X-ray to melt the glass, while 350 degrees C for 5 h was chosen for annealing. The Y7.5 sample was examined by XRD (X-ray diffraction) to ensure the glassy amorphous structure of the glasses since it contains the highest concentration of diffraction) to ensure the glassy amorphous structure of the glasses since it contains the highest concentration of Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3). Optical absorption using UV-visible was measured for all Y2.5, Y5.0, and Y7.5 samples to Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3). Optical absorption using UV-visible was measured for all Y2.5, Y5.0, and Y7.5 samples to study their optical properties. Radiation shielding properties were investigated for all samples. The mass study their optical properties. Radiation shielding properties were investigated for all samples. The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) was highest at 0.0395 MeV, with the value of 8.121 cm2/g for Y7.5, 7.927 cm2/g attenuation coefficient (MAC) was highest at 0.0395 MeV, with the value of 8.121 cm2/g for Y7.5, 7.927 cm2/g for Y5, and 7.716 cm2/g for Y2.5. The transmission factor (TF) at low energy levels was minimal, reaching as low for Y5, and 7.716 cm2/g for Y2.5. The transmission factor (TF) at low energy levels was minimal, reaching as low as 0.0004 for Y7.5. The results highlight Y7.5 as the most effective sample for radiation shielding among all as 0.0004 for Y7.5. The results highlight Y7.5 as the most effective sample for radiation shielding among all samples due to its high Y2O3 content and density. samples due to its high Y2O3 content and density.
