In the present work, a novel glass system, 10Na 2 O–6MgO–9CaO–5Al 2 O 3 –12B 2 O 3 -(100− x )SiO 2 – x Bi 2 O 3 ( x : 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 mol%), was investigated in terms of physical properties and radiation shielding competencies. For this, the ABS glass series was successfully synthesized by fo...
