Evolution of the Radiation Shielding, Optical, and Luminescence Properties of PbO<sub>2</sub>-SiO<sub>2</sub> Glass Systems and the Influence of Rare Earth Elements (Eu, Ce, Yb)

Evolution of the Radiation Shielding, Optical, and Luminescence Properties of PbO<sub>2</sub>-SiO<sub>2</sub> Glass Systems and the Influence of Rare Earth Elements (Eu, Ce, Yb)

This study explores the physical, radiation shielding, optical, and photoluminescent properties of PbO<sub>2</sub>-SiO<sub>2</sub>-based glass systems. Traditional radiation shielding materials, like lead and concrete, face challenges due to toxicity and weight. Glass materia...
