    Through experimental and modeling techniques, this research sought to investigate the reflections of partial replacement of CaO–SiO2 with Tungsten(III) oxide and its effect on structural, optical, and physical properties. The melt quenching technique was used to produce several glass samples with a nominal composition of 5Na2O–10Al2O3–(42.5 ? x)SiO2–(42.5 ? x)CaO–xWO3 system (where x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 wt.&). The amorphous structure of calcium-silicon glasses was determined experimentally using the XRD technique. UV and density studies were also performed to determine optical and material properties. To determine the effect of this replacement on nuclear radiation shielding improvement, the linear attenuation coefficient was computed across a broad energy range of 0.015–15 MeV using narrow beam geometry and the simulated gamma-ray transmission technique. The radiation parameters were simulated using sophisticated Monte Carlo simulations using the FLUKA general-purpose radiation transport algorithm and compared using the NIST XCOm theoretical computation. To maximize the substitution's synergistic impact, the present investigation's findings were correlated with each other for the purpose of determining availability for nuclear shielding purposes. It was discovered that when the WO3 content rises from 0 to 20% wt— percent, both direct and indirect bandgaps reduce, resulting in increased transparency. In addition, the Urbach energy (Eu) yields a rise in proportion to the amount of doping elements in the samples. On the other hand, gamma-ray attenuation measurements revealed that shielding parameters are directly proportional to the WO3-wt percent concentration; furthermore, the addition of WO3 substantially enhances the shielding capacity of the investigated glasses against gamma radiation. It is observed that when additional WO3 is added, both the real and imaginary components of the dielectric constant increase. The most effective shield was determined to be the NSCW20 sample. As a result, a WO3-calcium-silicon glass containing 20% WO3 was selected as the optimum radiation filter. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE part of Springer Nature.

    Fabrication of newly developed tungsten III-oxide glass family: Physical, structural, mechanical, radiation shielding effectiveness
    (Elsevier GmbH, 2022) Issa, Shams A.M.; Tekin, Hüseyin Ozan; Saudi, H.A.; Koubisy, M.S.I.; Zhukovsky, M.; Ali, Ahmed S.; Zakaly, Hesham M.H.
    A series of glasses based on the nominal composition of (Na2O)5 + (Al2O3)10 + (SiO2)(85+x)/2 + (CaO)(85+x)/2 + (WO3)x glasses system were produced utilizing the usual melt quenching process in this study. Experimental techniques and the FLUKA Monte Carlo algorithm were used to examine the properties of silicon-calcium glasses containing tungstate-III-oxide. For five glass structures identified according to (Na2O)5+(Al2O3)10+(SiO2)(85+x)/2+(CaO)(85+x)/2+(WO3)x (0 ?x ? 20 wt-%) glass composition, the impact of tungstate-III-oxide with ratios of (0 ?x ? 20 wtpercent) on radiation shielding characteristics of glasses was set. The densities of the produced glasses fluctuated between 2.847 g/cm3 and 3.122 g/cm3 when tungstate-III-oxide was substituted. The produced sample densities, which are important in assessing radiation shielding features, rose as the WO3 concentration increased, according to our first results. In addition, the structure of each sample was studied using FT-IR. FT-IR showed that when WO3 levels rose, the connection level increased, and the FT-IR spectra shifted to higher wavenumbers. The synthesis of WO3 in a glass matrix enhances the structural network by raising oxygen levels, which leads to the transition of SiO2 into - CaO. Elastic moduli and Ultrasonic velocities were found to rise as the ratio of WO3 in the generated samples increased. These two approaches were used to model linear and mass attenuation coefficients, photons-transmittance versus photon energy, radiation protection efficiency against photon energy, and absorber thickness (experimental and simulation). Based on the results, it can be stated that the w20 sample, which contains 20 wt%, will play the most effective function in radiation shielding. Increases in WO3 led in considerable increases in linear and mass attenuation coefficient values, which directly contribute to the development of the glass's radiation shielding characteristics. © 2022 Elsevier GmbH

    Fabrication, optical, structural, and gamma-ray attenuation properties of novel slag-waste glasses as superior shields: An exploring journey for waste to glass transformation
    (Elsevier GmbH, 2022) Issa, Shams A.M.; Zakaly, Hesham M.H.; Rashad, M.; Ali, Ahmed S.; Tekin, Hüseyin Ozan
    We present a comprehensive study on the transformation of municipal slug wastes into glass samples with exceptional gamma-ray attenuation capabilities that may be used in medical and industrial radiation applications to the benefit of society. The whole process is performed using an adsorbent developed by loading iron oxide and TiO2 on municipal solid waste melted slag. The loading is carried out through chemical reactions and high-temperature process. The oxidation of arsenite with a concentration of 100 mg L?1 is completed in 3 h. Next, the glass synthesis process is performed using well-known melt-quenching method. Structural, optical, and gamma-ray attenuation properties are determined using experimental and theoretical methods. Our findings showed that a wide hump centered at 2?= 30° with no indication of any precise peaks emerging in the crystalline phases and glasses under investigation have amorphous natures. Using several well-known radioisotope energies, the half-value layers of slow waste glasses are determined. The 11-G sample demonstrated the greatest gamma-ray attenuation characteristics among the manufactured glass samples. The 11-G sample's half layer values are then compared to those of comparable glass, concrete, and polymer shields available in the literature. The results demonstrated that 11-G is clearly better than the other shield types. It can be concluded that some other novel materials with superior shielding properties may be manufactured using more thoroughly separating techniques in terms of determining the best conditions for this type of superior materials. It can be also concluded that some other characterization phases may be conducted in terms of identifying the undiscovered properties of the current samples towards better understanding of slug-waste based glasses and their potential applications.

    Unveiling the structural, optical, and electromagnetic attenuation characteristics of B2O3-SiO2-CaO-Bi2O3 glasses with varied WO3 content
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Ali, Ahmed S.; Alrowaily, Albandari W.; Issa, Shams A. M.; Rashad, M.; Elsaman, Reda; Zakaly, Hesham M. H.
    This study provides insight into B2O3-SiO2-CaO-Bi2O3 glasses where novel results for the effects of WO3 content on its structural and optical properties have been demonstrated. Thus, provides useful data for developing new glasses for optical and electromagnetic shielding applications. The effect of WO3 content on the structural and optical properties of B2O3-SiO2-CaO-Bi2O3 glasses was investigated along with radiation shielding features which have been calculated by XCOM program. BSCB/W-00, BSCB/W-2.5, BSCB/W-5.0, BSCB/W-7.5, BSCB/W10, BSCB/W-15, and BSCB/W-20 refer to seven samples of bismuth borosilicate glass system doped with 0.0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, and 20% of WO3, respectively, synthesized using the melt quenching technique. The density of the glasses decreased with increasing WO3 content due to the replacement of Bi2O3 with lower-density WO3. It was found that the absorption coefficient decreased with increasing WO3 content up to 10 wt%, but showed an opposite trend for samples with higher WO3 content. The optical band gap and the transition type were affected as the WO3 content increased. The electromagnetic wave decay or skin depth was also calculated. Overall, the shielding effectiveness of investigated samples BSCB/W-00, BSCB/W-2.5, BSCB/W-5.0, BSCB/W-7.5, BSCB/W10, BSCB/W-15, and BSCB/W-20 has reduced with the enlargement of the WO3 concentration. BSCB/W-00, out of all the samples tested, has the highest shielding efficiency.
