An investigation of the nuclear shielding effectiveness of some transparent glasses manufactured from natural quartz doped lead cations

The influence of lead cations on natural quartz (QZ) from Egypt as a glass shielding material for the composition with nominal formula (10Na2O - (90 - x) QZ – xPbO (where x = 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 mol %)) was examined. The studied samples are synthesized via the melt quenching method at 1050 °C. The...
