Abstract
The influence of tin (II) oxide (SnO) on the g-ray radiation-protection characteristics of binary silicate glass samples with the form (100 - x)SiO2-xSnO, 40 mol% SiSn55 > SiSn50 > SiSn45 > SiSn40. The results showed that the half-value layers of the investigated samples were in the order SiSn40 > SiSn45 > SiSn50 > SiSn55 > SiSn60. The values of EBF and EABF show proportionate variations with the photon energy and chemical composition of the glasses. Therefore, the investigated glasses can be considered satisfactory materials for gamma ray protection, particularly the SiSn60 sample, with 60 mol% tin (II) oxide.
