Abstract The need for effective shielding materials has grown as radiation-based technologies have
been more widely used. Glasses doped with rare earth elements like neodymium oxide, are
promising candidates due to their enhanced radiation attenuation properties. Using Phy-X
software, this research examines how neodymium oxide doping affects the shielding
properties of yttrium lead borotellurite glass. X-ray diffraction confirmed the amorphous
structure, while density measurements showed increased density with neodymium oxide
addition. The Phy-X software calculated radiation shielding parameters for gamma energies
from 10⁻³ to 10⁵ MeV. The results demonstrate that neodymium oxide improves gamma
irradiation attenuation and More >
