Abstract:
New series of borosilicate glasses containing ZnO and BaO as network modifiers with compositions of xZnO-2xBaO-1/2(1-3x)B2O3-1/2(1-3x)SiO2 (x varying from 0.10 to 0.21 mole fraction) were prepared by the conventional melt quench technique. Structural properties have been determined before and after successive -ray irradiation at 2.5 kGy dose using, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques to elucidate the effect of -irradiation on these glasses.
