What is it about?
The zinc-tellurium-bismuth-borate glass system has been synthesized, and its physical, optical, dielectric, and radiation attenuation properties have been investigated. The BZBT6 glass exhibits radiation shielding characteristics comparable to those of commercially available lead-containing glass (RS-520) and appears to be suitable as a gamma-radiation shield at intermediate energies.

Perspectives
This research article is related to the radiation shielding characteristics of glasses such as borate glasses, which are usually made between the temperatures of 800 C to 1100 C. This article deals with the theoretical investigation of radiation shielding parameters using software packages like PHY-X?PSD and WinXCOM. Such types of glasses have potential applications in the medical and nuclear industries for radiation shielding purposes,
