The present study explored the gamma-rays shielding characteristics of waste soda-lime glass (SLG) containing lanthanum oxide (La2O3) and gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) by utilizing theoretical and experimental determinations. For this purpose, both La2O3, and Gd2O3 were separately added as 0.005, 0.05, a...

The color developed in a commercially available soda-lime-silica glass when subjected to gamma-irradiation and the stability of such radiation-induced color were studied to test its sensitivity to small doses of gamma-rays (0.0-27 kGy). After irradiation, two absorption bands developed at 400 and 62...

This study was conducted in order to determine the gamma shielding properties of soda-lime glass and glass ceramic. The linear attenuation coefficients (LAC) of these glass types were measured using a 3ʺx3ʺ NaI(Tl) detector system. Four different gamma sources, 133Ba (356 keV), 22Na (511 and 1275 ke...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry aims to investigate different materials for the purpose of reconstruction of the dose absorbed by the victims of radiological and nuclear accidents. The soda-lime glass is very popular as retrospective dosimeter due its availability. In the dose range below 2 ...

Soda lime silicate glasses doped with one of these metal oxides: vanadium oxide, copper oxide, or strontium oxide were synthesized by high-temperature melting technique. Spectroscopic, physical and optical properties were investigated for glass samples with and without the effect of gamma irradiatio...
