Abstract

This manuscript has investigated the effect of TiO2 and PbO-coated glasses
on radiation absorption properties to develop alternative materials for
radiation shielding. The shielding properties of glass materials coated with
oxides were calculated experimentally with a gamma spectrometer with
NaI(Tl) detector and theoretically with the XCOM computer program and
GATE simulation program. Within this scope, the shielding properties of TiO2,
Pb0, and Pb0 doped TiO2 glasses at 511, 662, 1274 keV gamma energies were
calculated. The results obtained showed that 50% Pb0 contribution can increase
the shielding properties of TiO2 glasses. Also, it has been observed that the
experimental and theoretical results obtained are compatible with each other.
