| Summary: | In this research 60Bi2O3-(40-x) B2O3-xBaO (where x = 5, 10, 15, 20 mol %) multi-component oxide glass was investigated to study Neutron-Gamma radiation and optical properties. Neutron-Gamma radiation properties such as the Mass Attenuation Coefficients (MAC), Liner Attenuation Coefficients (LAC), Mean Free Path (MFP), Fast Neutron Removal Cross-Section (FNRCS) parameters and optical properties such as Refractive index (n), Molar refractivity (Rm), Molar polarizability (αm), Metallization (M), Reflection loss (RL) and Transmission coefficient (T) were studied. The values of Refractive index varied from 2.4312 (BBB1) to 2.4452 (BBB4) and the Molar refractivity increased from 29.430 to 31.063, and the molar polarizability varied from 1.1666 ×10-23 to 1.2314 ×10-23. Our findings show that they behave similarly. Because the fast neutrons are produced in many nuclear and medical applications, studying the attenuation of such neutrons is an important function for protecting. Moreover, the Fast Neutron Removal Cross-Section (FNRCS) varies for 0.105, 0.103, 0.100, 0.098 and 0.103 cm−1 from the BBB1 to BBB4 samples. The results obtained in this study indicated that BBB4 glass shows better protection and optical behavior.
