Theoretical Investigation on Radiation Properties of Calcium-Silico-Borate Glasses Doped with Varying Lu sub(2) O sub(3) Concentration

In this work, the well-known program WinXCom have been performed over 1 keV to 20 MeV to obtain the radiation properties (in case of theoretical calculation) of calcium-silico-borate glass system containing Lu2O3 in the composition of xLu sub(2) O sub(3): 10.0CaO : 10.0SiO sub(2): (80.0-x)B sub(2) O...

Description
Summary:In this work, the well-known program WinXCom have been performed over 1 keV to 20 MeV to obtain the radiation properties (in case of theoretical calculation) of calcium-silico-borate glass system containing Lu2O3 in the composition of xLu sub(2) O sub(3): 10.0CaO : 10.0SiO sub(2): (80.0-x)B sub(2) O sub(3) with x are Lu sub(2) O sub(3) concentrations varying from 0.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, and 25.0 mol%. The total mass attenuation and partial attenuation coefficients have been studied as functions of chemical compositions and incoming photon energies. In addition, the obtained data were then used to compute the effective atomic numbers and effective electron densities. The calculated results show the variation of both parameters with photon energy.
