Abstract

This paper is reports on the structural optical and radiation shielding properties of development barium-borate-rice husk ash glasses (RHA) system. The glasses containing BaO in xBaO:(80-x)B2O3:20RHA where x = 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 wt.% have been prepared by melt quenching technique. The structural properties of these glasses are shown from density data and molar volume. The optical property was investigated using UV-Visible spectra. The mass attenuation coefficients of the developed glass system have been determined using narrow beam transmission geometry at 662 keV. The results are corresponding with theoretical calculation from WinXCom software. ฉ 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
