Abstract
A new series of lithium-borate
glass systems (23Li2O-72B2O3 in mol%) were
synthesized with the substitution of Al2O3 (5 mol.%) as a
modifier and doped with 0.3 and 0.5 mol% of Dy2O3. Four
series of glasses (S1, S2, S3 and S4) were synthesized via the conventional
melt-quenching technique and characterized by using UV-Visible-NIR absorption
spectrometer and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The current
investigation gives further insight on the structural and optical properties of
the samples. The diffraction spectrum obtained from the X-ray Diffraction (XRD)
analysis shows no typical peaks in the glass system, which indicates its
amorphous phase. The optical properties of Al3+ and Dy3+ ions were evaluated and found that there is a pivot effect for the addition of
Al2O3 and Dy2O3 for the glass
system. Notably, the sample S2 shows different behaviours for physical,
structural, and optical properties compared with other prepared glass samples
that can be attributed to the increment of Al2O3.
Besides, the physical and ionizing shielding features were investigated for
current glass samples. The radiation shielding properties were examined within
the energy range of 0.015 until 15 MeV. The sample S4 has the optimum radiation
shielding features as a result of the addition of Dy2O3.
Hence, the composition attributes a new glass system that can be used in
various applications such as radiation dosimeter and photon shielding materials.

ABSTRAK
Suatu siri baru sistem kaca litium-borat (23Li2O-72B2O3 dalam mol%) disintesis dengan penggantian Al2O3 (5 mol.%) sebagai pengubah suai dan terdop dengan 0.3 dan 0.5 mol% Dy2O3. Empat siri gelas (S1, S2, S3 dan S4) disintesis melalui teknik sepuh lindap konvensional dan dicirikan dengan menggunakan spektrometer penyerapan UV-boleh nampak-NIR dan spektroskopi inframerah transformasi Fourier
(FTIR). Kajian semasa memberikan gambaran lebih lanjut mengenai sifat struktur dan optik sampel. Spektrum belauan yang diperoleh dari analisis pembelauan sinar-X (XRD) tidak menunjukkan puncak khas dalam sistem kaca yang menunjukkan fasa amorfusnya. Sifat optik ion Al3+ dan Dy3+ dinilai dan didapati bahawa terdapat kesan pangsi pada penambahan Al2O3 dan Dy2O3 untuk sistem kaca. Terutama, sampel S2 menunjukkan tingkah laku yang berbeza untuk sifat fizikal, struktur dan optik berbanding dengan sampel kaca lain yang boleh dikaitkan dengan kenaikan Al2O3. Selain itu, ciri-ciri fizikal dan perlindungan mengion juga dikaji bagi setiap sampel kaca. Sifat pelindung diperiksa dalam julat tenaga dari 0.015 hingga 15 MeV. Sampel S4 mempunyai ciri pelindung yang optimum disebabkan penambahan Dy2O3. Oleh itu, komposisi mengaitkan sistem kaca baru yang dapat digunakan dalam pelbagai aplikasi seperti dosimeter radiasi dan bahan pelindungan foton.
