Effect of substitution of Zirconium dioxide by Tin(IV) oxide on radiation shielding and properties of used in therapeutic environments

The Li2O–Al2O3–SiO2 (LAS) glasses were made using the melt quenching method. In this study, by using Monte Carlo simulation and the Phy-X/PDS software program are determined for radiation shielding, structural, mechanical, and acoustic features of the LAS glass samples. The Linear Attenuation Coefficient (LAC), Half-Value Layer (HVL), Mean Free Path (MFP) and Math Attenuation Coefficient (MAC) are identified as important parameters controlling the behavior of the LAS glasses. The energies used in this study varied between 0.284 MeV and 1.173 MeV. By increasing the concentration of ZrO2- SnO2, the density of the present samples increases from 2.473 to 2.501 g/cm3.
