In the present study, a set of four glass samples with the composition of (50 −  x )TeO 2  − 10GeO 2  − 20ZnO − 10Al 2 O 3  − 10MgO −  x CuO where x  = 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mol% has been investigated. This study explored the physical, mechanical, structural, and radiation shielding capabilities of glass...
