摘要

The effect of variation of V2O5 content on the physical, optical features, and γ-ray shielding performance for samarium borate tellurite glasses with the chemical composition (33-x)B2O3 + 34TeO2 + 18CaO + 1Sm2O3 + 14Na2O + xV2O5 (x = 0 (BTV0) -8 (BTV8) mol%) was examined. The BTV-glasses were prepared using the melting-quenching process. The density (ρ) enhanced from 3.19 ± 0.01 g/cm3 to 3.51 ± 0.01 g/cm3, whereas the molar volume (Vm) reduced from 31.15 ± 0.01 cm3/mol to 30.94 ± 0.01 cm3/mol. The UV-Vis spectra exhibited several bands and confirmed some transitions from the ground state (6H5/2) to the excited states of Sm3+ ions. The direct optical gap ( \(\:{E}_{g}^{Direct}\:\) ) reduced from 3.414 ± 0.001 eV for BTV0 sample to 3.153 ± 0.001 eV for BTV8 sample. The indirect optical gap \(\:\left({E}_{g}^{Indirect}\right)\) reduced from 3.276 ± 0.001 eV for BTV0 and 2.989 ± 0.001 eV for BTV8. Urbach’s energy (Eu) was increased 0.231 ± 0.001 eV to 0.235 ± 0.001 eV. The Phy-X/PSD software and XGBoost model used to examine the γ-ray attenuation properties. The mass- (MAC) values were followed the order; MAC(BTV8) > MAC(BTV5) > MAC(BTV3) > MAC(BTV1) > MAC(BTV0). The half (Hvl)-value layer parameter obeyed the order: Hvl(BTV0) > Hvl(BTV1) > Hvl(BTV3) > Hvl(BTV5) > Hvl(BTV8). Results showed that the BTV-glasses can be considered as promising new optical and shielding materials.
