Özet

In this research, various valuable features having discriminating characteristics, namely the mass attenuation coefficient (mu(m)), effective atomic number (Z(eff)), energy absorption buildup factor (EABF), neutron removal cross-section (sigma R), mass stopping power (MSP) and projected range values were studied in the energy range of 0.015-15 MeV for vanado-telluride glass network had heavy or transition metal oxides. mu(m) for the different glass series were calculated using Monte Carlo code. Besides, the EABFs were also calculated using geometric progression fitting technique. The proton and alpha MSP as well as projected range values were computed using SRIM code. Moreover, the generated mu(m) by MCNPX for the different glass series was compared to the outputs of XMuDat and XCOM. The analysis indicated that the glass sample VTBi6 had good magnitudes of mu(m) and the lowest values of half value layer, i.e. the sample had the superior radiation shielding properties among the explored glasses.
