Mechanical and Gamma Ray Absorption Behavior of PbO-WO<sub>3</sub>-Na<sub>2</sub>O-MgO-B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Glasses in the Low Energy Range

The Makishima and Mackenzie model has been used to determine the mechanical properties of the PbO-WO<sub>3</sub>-Na<sub>2</sub>O-MgO-B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> glass system. The number of bonds per unit volume of the glasses (n<sub>b</sub>)...
