Abstract
Sodium bario-fluoride boro-vanadate glasses of compositions 20BaF2–(60-x)B2O3–20Na2O–x(V2O5), where x takes values of 0 (BBNV0), 1 (BBNV1), 2 (BBNV2), 3 (BBNV3), and 4 (BBNV4) mol% were fabricated using the ordinary melt quenching technique. Density by Archimedes` method, elastic moduli via Makishima–Mackenzie model, radiation shielding competence via XCOM software and FLUKA simulation code within γ-ray energy (81–1408 keV), as well as neutron shielding capacity have been examined. Density of the fabricated glasses was gradually enhanced from 3.1245 g/cm3 for BBNV0 glass sample with free of V2O5 to 3.4521 g/cm3 for BBNV4 glass sample enrich with V2O5. The enhancement of mechanical properties of BBNV0–BBNV5 glasses confirmed the role of vanadium as a modifier in the glass matrix. In terms of the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), the insertion of V2O5 in the fabricated glass matrix has a direct constructive effect on the LAC values. The minimum values (LAC)min achieved at 1.408 MeV; 0.16 cm−1, 0.16 cm−1, 0.17 cm−1, 0.17 cm−1, and 0.17 cm−1 and the maximum values (LAC)max achieved at 0.081 MeV; 3.87 cm−1, 3.93 cm−1, 3.99 cm−1, 4.07 cm−1, and 4.13 cm−1 for BBNV0, BBNV1, BBNV2, BBNV3, and BBNV5 glasses, respectively. In terms of the half-value layer (HVL), the BBNV4 glasses possessed the minimum values and BBNV0 glasses possessed the maximum values. Therefore, the mentioned parameter follows the trend as: (HVL)BBNV0 > (HVL)BBNV1 > (HVL,)BBNV2 > (HVL)BBNV3 > (HVL)BBNV4. The enhancement of the V2O5 content in the fabricated glass matrix has a positive effect for enriching both effective atomic numbers (Zeff). In addition, the BBNV0 glass sample (free with V2O5) achieved the best neutron shielding ability.
