Effect of boron doping on the irradiation resistance of iron phosphate glass: Insights from mechanical properties and chemical stability
Source abstract
Abstract
We investigated the ion-irradiation effects of iron phosphate glasses (IPGs) with composition of 40Fe 2O 3‒60P 2O 5 (mol%) and 10B 2O 3‒36Fe 2O 3‒54P 2O 5 (mol%), respectively, and explored the effect of boron doping on the mechanical properties and the chemical stability. Mono-ion irradiation (5-MeV Xe 20+) and sequential irradiation scenario (5-MeV Xe 20++ 250-keV H +) were performed with different doses. As the Xe-dose increased, both the hardness and the Young`s modulus decreased until converging to saturation, and then the hardness tended to recover. The variations in mechanical properties and water contact angle of the 10B 2O 3‒36Fe 2O 3‒54P 2O 5 were more significant than those of the 40Fe 2O 3‒60P 2O 5, indicating inferior irradiation resistance. The hardness recovery was also observed in H-ion irradiation whose energy deposition is predominated by electronic interaction, while the boron doping weakened this phenomenon. Our study contributes to understanding the long-term behavior of IPG during the underground disposal of high-level waste, and provides fundamental data to optimize the design of IPG formulations.
