TL;DR: Gamma-ray attenuation coefficients have been determined experimentally using a narrow beam transmission method for the x PbO(1− x )SiO 2 (x ǫ = 0.45 −0.70) glass system at 662, 1173 and 1332 kV photon energies as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, values of the gamma-ray mass-attenuation coefficient, the photon mean free path (MFP), the effective atomic number and the effective electron density have been determined experimentally for x ZnO·2 x PbO·(1−3 x )B 2 O 3 (x = 0.1−0.26) glasses at photon energies 511, 662, 1173 and 1332 keV and compared with theoretical data.

TL;DR: In this article, the linear attenuation coefficient (μ) and mass attenuation coefficients (μ ϱ ) of glasses in three systems: xPbO(1 − x)B2O3, 0.25 PbO · xCdO(0.75 − x), and xBi 2O3(1− x), B2O 3, were measured at 662 keV.

TL;DR: In this article, bismuth containing glass samples can be used as potential candidates for γ-ray shielding applications and structural properties including coordination number and non-bridging oxygens of the structural units of the glass system have been estimated from detailed analysis of Optical, Raman and FTIR spectra.

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of BaO doped PbO-P 2 O 5 glass system as gamma ray shielding material in terms of mass attenuation coefficient and half value layer at photon energies 662, 1173 and 1332 kV was evaluated.
