dc.description.abstractFive samples of borate glasses reinforced with various ratios of Fe3+ ions with chemical formula (60-X)B2O3–10ZnO–10CdO–5Li2O–15Na2O-XFe2O3: (0.0 (Fe-0.0) ? X ? 1 (Fe-1.0) mol%) were prepared using the melt-quenching technique. The structure, physical, optical characteristics, and ?-ray attenuation properties of the prepared Fe-X glasses have been investigated. The amorphous state of Fe-X glasses confirmed by XRD observations. Density (?glass) of the Fe-X glasses increased from 3.21 g cm?3 to 3.91 g cm?3. Molar volume (Vm) gradually reduced from 18.87 cm3/mol to 15.35 cm3/mol with increasing Fe2O3 content in the glass network from 0.0 to 1.0 mol%. The color of Fe-X glasses changed from yellow to brown according to the absorption bands located at around 385–412 nm and 407–429 nm within the visible spectrum. The indirect optical band gap (Eg) decreased from 3.37 eV to 2.78 eV, while the linear refractive index (no) increased from 2.31 to 2.45. Mass- (MAC) and linear- (LAC) attenuation coefficients increased as Fe3+ ions increased in the glass network. The Fe-1.0 sample with highest Fe2O3 content possessed the lowest values of half-value layer (HVL) and mean free path (MFP) shielding parameters. Results revealed that the suggested glass compositions can be applied in optical and radiation protection fields. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.en_US
