Summary: This article investigates the structural, physical, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties of telluro-borate glass co-activated with Dy2O3 and Y2O3. The addition of Y2O3 increases the glass density and refractive index, and affects the photo-luminescence spectra. Furthermore, the Vickers hardness of the glass is increased by the addition of Y2O3, indicating an improvement in mechanical properties. These findings enhance our understanding of the glass composition and its potential applications in fields such as photonics and laser optics.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of different gamma-ray doses and TeO2 ratios on the properties of borate glass modified with barium and bismuth oxide. The study shows that color changes occur in all glass samples under gamma-ray irradiation, with increasing doses causing darker colors. The glass structure remains stable with different doses, but there is a variation in intensity. Borate glass exhibits the highest mechanical properties and thermal stability, while the highest mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) is observed in borate glass samples against gamma doses. This suggests that borate glass has potential for use in radiation-shielding applications.

Summary: This investigation evaluated the structural, optical, and radiation-shielding effectiveness of glasses with the xLa(2)O(3)-(20 - x) TiO2-23SiO(2)-57B(2)O(3) formula. The addition of La2O3 content significantly increased the density, refractive index, ion concentration, and field strength. Optical spectroscopy showed that the indirect optical band gap (E-opt) decreased and the Urbach energy (E-u) increased with La2O3 content. FTIR spectra detected the conversion of BO3 into BO4 tetrahedral units. The glass sample demonstrated superior gamma radiation- and neutron-shielding performance compared to other glasses.

Summary: The conventional melting and annealing procedure was used to manufacture glass matrices with a nominal composition of x La2O3-(20 - x)TiO2-23SiO(2)-57B(2)O(3) and a gradual partial replacement of TiO2 by La2O3. X-ray diffraction (XRD), pulse-echo technique, and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to examine the effects of La(2)O(3)3 content on the TiO2-B(2)O(3)3-SiO2 glass. The results showed that the glass transition temperature increased with an increase in La2O3 content, and the elastic properties of the glass also improved.

Summary: Glasses with different BaO content in the formulation 15TiO2-70P2O5-(15-x)Li2O-xBaO (0 < x < 10 mol. %) were fabricated using the melt quenching procedure. The density of the glasses increased and the molar volume decreased with increasing BaO concentration. Ultrasonic velocities (VL & VT) increased as the amount of BaO content increased, indicating higher elastic properties. BaO content was found to be the only factor affecting the radiation shielding phenomenon in the glasses. BaO reinforcement not only increased the density of the glass compositions, but also enhanced their mechanical and gamma-ray shielding properties.
