Impact of BiO on prepared nano (SiO-NaO-CaO-BO) glass as radiation shielding material.

Melt quenching technique was used to create Bismuth Boro-Silicate nano glasses with compositions of 45SiO-10CaO- 25NaO- xBiO- (20-x) BO (where x is 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mol %). Standard point sources AM-241, Ba-133, Co-60, Cs-137, and Eu-152 were used in the radiation experiment to evaluate the attenuation coefficients spanning the energy range of 59.51 keV to 1048.

The Influence of BiO Nanoparticle Content on the γ-ray Interaction Parameters of Silicon Rubber.

In this study, synthetic silicone rubber (SR) and BiO micro- and nanoparticles were purchased. The percentages for both sizes of BiO were 10, 20 and 30 wt% as fillers. The morphological, mechanical and shielding properties were determined for all the prepared samples.

Enhancement of Ceramics Based Red-Clay by Bulk and Nano Metal Oxides for Photon Shielding Features.

We prepared red clays by introducing different percentages of PbO, BiO, and CdO. In order to understand how the introduction of these oxides into red clay influences its attenuation ability, the mass attenuation coefficient of the clays was experimentally measured in a lab using an HPGe detector. The theoretical shielding capability of the material present was obtained using XCOM to verify the accuracy of the experimental results.
