Abstract

Photon attenuation properties of glass system in formula (70-x)TeO2-30SiO2-xBi2O3 at x = 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mol%. These glass samples have been simulated through Phy-X/PSD software program at photon energies 10-3 - 105 MeV. The mass attenuation coefficient (gif.latex?\mum) values of the selected glass system exhibited that the shielding performance of the gamma photons is related to the Bi2O3 content in glass, thus, the increasing of Bi2O3 content to glass improves the capacity of the glass system to attenuate more photons. Further, the method of geometric progression (G-P) fitting has been used to simulated wide energies ranging from 15 keV - 15 MeV and until 40 penetration depths (mfp) for buildup factors (BFs): exposure and energy absorption buildup factors (EBF and EABF). The simulated data reports that Bi2O3 partial replacement of TeO2 in glass system which increases behavior of against radiation and 20TeO2-30SiO2-50Bi2O3 exhibited the best shielding properties.
