Özet

The effect of some modifier oxides (MO) which are Li2O, MgO, ZnO and CaO on the radiation shielding features of B2O3-SiO2-Na2O-ZrO2-MO (BSNZ-MO) glasses were studied by using Geant4 Monte Carlo and the results were theoretically compared by using Phy-X/PSD software between 0.1 MeV and 10 MeV energies. BSNZ-Zn has the highest mu and mu/rho values whereas BSNS-Li has the lowest mu and mu/rho values. The HVLs and TVLs of BSNZ-Zn are the smallest among the BSNZ-MO glasses. The Z(eff) values of BSNZ-MO glasses change in order of BSNZ-Li < BSNZ-Mg < BSNZ-Ca < BSNZ-Zn. The Neff values of BSNZ-MO glasses vary like Zeff values except for 0.4 MeV-3 MeV photon energies. The TMSPs are the lowest for BSNZ-Zn and they are the greatest for BSNZ-Li for protons, alpha particles and heavy carbon ion. The R values of electron are the maximum for BSNZ-Mg and they are minimum for the BSNz-Zn. Besides, The FNRC of the BSNZ-Li has the greatest whereas the FNRC of the BSNZ-Mg has the lowest among the BSNZ-MO glasses.
