Abstract
• HfO 2 doping raised the glass transition temperature from 402 °C to 419 °C, enhancing structural integrity and bonding strength . • The mass attenuation coefficient rose from 2.746 to 3.246 cm 2 /g at 80.99 keV with 10 mol% HfO 2 , showcasing enhanced gamma radiation shielding. • The fast neutron removal cross-section (ƩR) peaked in TBWH-3, increasing neutron dose absorption by 30.68%, proving its shielding efficiency. • HfO 2 -doped glasses, with enhanced thermal, gamma, and neutron shielding properties are promising candidates for medical and nuclear applications. This study explores the structural, thermal, and radiation shielding properties of boro-tellurite glasses doped with varying concentrations of…
