Er2O3 effects on photon and neutron shielding properties of TeO2-Li2O-ZnO-Nb2O5 glass system

In this study, a series of 75TeO2-5Li2O-10ZnO-(10-x)Nb2O5-(x)Er2O3 (where x  = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.8 mol%) glasses have been surveyed in terms of photon and neutron shielding characteristics. For this aim, 3 × 3 inch NaI(Tl) detector has been simulated in order to detect photons. Afterwards,...
