(Springer, 2022)
In this study, glass samples of composition 20PbO-20CaO-20Sand-(40 − x)B2O3-xCeO2, where x = 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 in wt.% and sand = SiO2 (90.4%) + CaO (2.8%) + ZrO2 (2.3%) + Fe2O3 (2.1%), were fabricated via the ordinary ...
A detailed investigation on highly dense CuZr bulk metallic glasses for shielding purposes
(De Gruyter Open, 2022)
Gamma-ray shielding properties of eight different metallic glasses based on CuxZr100-x: x = 35 (Cu35Zr65) - 70 (Cu70Zr30) were determined using Monte Carlo simulations and Phy-X/PSD software. A typical gamma-ray transmission ...
