This paper studied the radiation shielding properties of new lead‐free telluride glass with different BaF2 content. The 65TeO2–15Bi2O3–(20 − x)ZnO–xBaF2 glass systems (where x = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 mol%) were tested through the X‐ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer, and differential sca...
