The role of SnO on γ-ray radiation protection characteristics of binary silicate glass samples with the form (100-x)SiO₂-xSnO; 40≤ x ≤ 60 mol% was investigated. The density and molar volume of the glasses were determined. The µ/ρ (mass attenuation coefficients in cm²/g) for the investigated glasses were evaluated via XCOM software and MCNP-5 simulation in the energy range of 0.015 – 15 MeV. The obtained values of µ/ρ show good agreement between the two methods. In terms of µ/ρ, several γ-ray protection parameters such as half value layer, mean free path, effective atomic number, exposure and energy absorption buildup factors have been calculated. Results reveal that µ/ρ for all samples can be arranged in the order SiSn60>SiSn55>SiSn50>SiSn45>SiSn40. The results showed that half value layers for the investigated samples were in the order SiSn40>SiSn45>SiSn50>SiSn55>SiSn60. Values of EBF and EABF show proportionate variations with photon energy and chemical composition in the glasses. Therefore, the investigated glasses can be considered as talented materials for γ-ray protection, especially SiSn60 sample with 60 mol% of SnO.

SnO增强硅酸盐玻璃及其在伽马辐射屏蔽应用中的利用

SnO对（100-x）SiO ₂ -xSnO形式的二元硅酸盐玻璃样品的γ射线防护特性的作用；研究了40≤x≤60mol％。测定玻璃的密度和摩尔体积。µ /ρ（质量衰减系数，单位为cm ²/ g）通过XCOM软件和MCNP-5模拟在0.015 – 15 MeV的能量范围内评估了所研究的眼镜。所获得的μ/ρ值在两种方法之间显示出良好的一致性。根据μ/ρ，已经计算了几个γ射线保护参数，例如半值层，平均自由程，有效原子序数，暴露和能量吸收积聚因子。结果表明，所有样品的μ/ρ可以按SiSn60> SiSn55> SiSn50> SiSn45> SiSn40的顺序排列。结果表明，所研究样品的半值层依次为SiSn40> SiSn45> SiSn50> SiSn55> SiSn60。EBF和EABF的值显示玻璃中光子能量和化学成分的比例变化。因此，被调查的眼镜可以被认为是γ射线防护的有才华的材料，
