A novel vanadium pentoxide doped glasses characterization for radiation shielding applications.

Glasses are actively used in various fields, from industry to health. Especially, special doped glasses used in radiation areas may vary depending on the type and energy of the radiation. Glasses made of high-density and effective radiation-absorbing materials generally provide adequate protection against X and gamma rays.

Preparation and study of radiation shielding features of ZnO nanoparticle reinforced borate glasses.

With the development of technology, the application areas of radiation have expanded and have an important place in our daily life. For this reason, we need more advanced and effective shielding materials to protect lives from the harmful effects of radiation. In this study, a simple combustion method was utilized to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, and obtained nanoparticles' structural and morphological features were examined.

Fabrication and characterization of GdxFeO(100-x) /PVA (x=0, 5, 10, 20) composite films for radiation shielding.

Purpose of this study is to investigate effect of gadolinium (Gd) content of GdxFe2O3(100-x), (x = 0, 5, 10, 20) composite system on structural, thermal, optical and radiation protection of poly (vinyl alchool) PVA based nanocomposite film. In this study, Gd doped FeO nanopowders (with Gd = 0, 5, 10 and 20) were synthesized by spray pyrolysis method. The characterization of these powders have been obtained by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Uv-vis spectrometer.
