Synthesizing new glass 40P2O5 – 50BaO - 2.5Na2O – 2.5MgO - 5TiO2 for the application in high radiation environmental dosimetry

Abstract

This paper aimed to present the thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) nanopowders as a glass former, modified with barium oxide (BaO) glass, the mixture was activated with titanium oxide (TiO2), and then co-activated with magnesium oxide (MgO) and sodium oxide (NaO). The glass was arranged into five different samples depending on the activator concentration and co-activator with the glass matrix 40 P2O5 - 50 BaO. The sample glass 40P2O5 – 50BaO - 2.5Na2O – 2.5MgO - 5TiO2 confirmed and proved the following properties: simple, reasonable, modest way of synthesis, losing nearly about 18.57% from its TL information in 10 days, apparent glow curve shape, linear response, less fading, and high Zeff value. Thus, this new formed kind of glass might play a crucial role especially in the field of high radiation environmental dosimetry.
