Abstract

Iron-doped lead phosphosilicate glasses were synthetic by the technique of melting quenching. The status of glasses were determined using XRD diffractometer methodology. The glass system’s molar volume decreases as density rises. The mechanical and radiation properties of the current glass sample are determined by its structure. The elastic modulus and ultrasonic velocities of these glasses are higher. The radiation shielding properties were investigated using Phy-X / PSD. MAC values are positively affected by increases in the Fe2O3 ratio. The HVL value for G 1 is the maximum, whereas G 5 is the lowest. As the Fe2O3 content increased, energy absorption and exposure buildup factor (EABF) & (EBF) values increased. As a result, G5 glasses have the best shielding capacity of all the glasses.
