This study investigates the incorporation of dolomite (CaMg(CO<inf>3</inf>)<inf>2</inf>) as a natural substitute for synthetic CaO in the fabrication of radiation shielding glass (RSG). Dolomite samples from Kanchanaburi, Thailand, were characterized using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to determine their chemical composition, revealing CaO (76.59-79.84 wt%) and MgO (19.13-21.54 wt%) as the primary components. These dolomites were used to synthesize borosilicate-based host glasses, where density remained stable (∼2.5 g/cm3), ensuring structural integrity. Optical transmittance measurements showed an average 80% transparency in the visible range. To enhance radiation attenuation, BaO was incorporated into the glass matrix at varying concentrations (5-35 mol%). Increasing BaO content increased the density of the glass samples, which contributed to improved radiation attenuation performance. The radiation-shielding properties, predicted using WinXCom over a wide photon energy range and experimentally evaluated at 0.662 MeV, improved with increasing BaO content. The HVL, Pb-equivalent thickness, and EABF results further supported the enhanced attenuation performance of the developed glasses, indicating that higher BaO content reduced the contribution of scattered photons to absorbed energy buildup in the intermediate-energy region. In addition, preliminary glass-forming tests of the B4 composition demonstrated the feasibility of preparing a larger glass sheet under similar melting and annealing conditions, although further optimization is still required. These findings suggest that natural dolomite can serve as a useful raw-material component for developing BaO-containing radiation-shielding glass with balanced optical transparency, density, and attenuation performance.

The vertical Bridgman method is used for the growth of single-doped CsI(Tl) and CsI(Tl:Ca) crystals, which has been evaluated for feasible applications in X-ray imaging and radiation detection. The powder XRD technique study reveals a single-crystalline phase of the grown crystal. The emission spectra show a broad emission band with a maximum of 540 nm under X-ray excitation, along with the characteristic emissions that arose from the Tl+ intra-center transition. The scintillation qualities of the grown crystal were studied via the pulse height spectra, scintillation light yield, energy resolution, and scintillation decay time. Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) was investigated under γ-rays and α-particles excitation sources. Moreover, the X-ray imaging application was investigated by an X-ray synchrotron at the Synchrotron Light Research Institute to study the performance of the grown crystal. These preliminary investigations suggest that the grown CsI(Tl:Ca) crystal can be one of the promising crystals for γ- and X-ray detecting applications.

In this study, we introduce an efficient green-emitting material made from Tb3+ doped borophosphate scintillating glass for X-ray imaging. An influence of Tb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> concentration on the physical, optical, luminescent, and scintillation properties of glasses were investigated. The glass density and refractive index increase, while the molar volume and Tb3+ inter-ionic distance decreases with Tb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> addition. These glasses absorb the photons in range of UV, Vis, and NIR. The excitations by UV and X-ray on glasses causes the strong green emission centered around 545 nm by the 5D<inf>4</inf> → 7F<inf>5</inf> transition of Tb3+. The energy transfer from Gd3+ to Tb3+ was occurred in this emission. The glass doped with 4 mol% of Tb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> demonstrates the highest emission intensity at 545 nm due to the concentration quenching. The decay time of glasses are in few milliseconds. The integral X-ray scintillation efficiency of 4 mol% doped glass is 52% compared to that of BGO crystal. Additionally, this glass was proceeded in the X-ray imaging and yielded the image with satisfied resolution, characteristics and MTF values, compared to that obtained from YAG:Ce crystal. The developed glass has a potential for X-ray imaging applications, especially in the medical imaging, flaw detection, and security inspection.

The glass samples were prepared by melt quenching method and changing Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> concentrations following component of xEu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> - 40Na<inf>2</inf>O - 7.5Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> - 5SiO<inf>2</inf> - (47.5-x)B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (x = 0, 1, 2, 3 mol %). Density and molar volume tend to increase with increasing Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> concentrations, corresponding to the larger non-bridging oxygen. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) results point out that the majority BO<inf>3</inf> borate group. The absorption spectra were represented in the length of UV-Vis and NIR region. The phonon energy of 3Eu:7.5Gd was 1280.54 cm−1, related to the borate glass host. The photoluminescence and X-ray-induced luminescence spectra of 3Eu:7.5Gd glass showed similar highest intensity at 613 nm (5D<inf>0</inf>→7F<inf>2</inf>). The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 3Eu:7.5Gd glass shows the highest value at 85.70 %. The scintillation efficiency of 3Eu:7.5Gd glass was 17.51 % of bismuth germanate (BGO) crystal. The decay time owing to Eu3+ emission is 2.054 ms for 2Eu:7.5Gd glass. The highest energy transfer efficiency was 2 mol % of Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> concentrations (η<inf>ET</inf> = 70 %). The CIE chromaticity coordinates of the glasses are placed in the reddish-orange area (0.65, 0.35). The spatial resolution of X-ray imaging study was 10 lp/mm. These results suggest that 3 mol % of Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> doped silicoborate glass is capable of being a scintillator applied in the X-ray imaging system.

The Na<inf>2</inf>O-BaO-B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> doped with varying concentrations of Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> and Na<inf>2</inf>O-Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-BaO-B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> glasses were doped with varying concentrations of Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (referred to as Eu:NGBaPB) and prepared using the melt-quenching technique. These glasses were analyzed comprehensively in the physical, optical, chemical groups and photo-/radio- luminescence properties. Furthermore, the X-ray imaging was operated to indicate the practical radiation detection of glass. The addition of Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, the density and refractive index of Eu:NGBaPB glasses increased, while the molar volume decreased. The glass exhibited photon absorption in the UV-NIR regions. Excitation from various sources such as X-ray, ultraviolet, and visible light resulted in a reddish-orange emission at approximately 613 nm, originating from the 5D<inf>0</inf>→7F<inf>2</inf> radiation state of Eu3+. Energy transfer occurred from Gd3+ to Eu3+ within the glass. These findings highlight the intriguing potential of the glass for applications as an X-ray scintillator.

The purpose of developing high transparency radiation shielding materials and luminescence materials with stoichiometric ratio of xGd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>:10La<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>:10ZnO:(79-x) B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>: 1Sm<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> where x = 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mol% using melt quenching technique. The physio-optical properties such as molar volume, density, concentration of rare-earth ions, polaron radius, inter-ionic radius, optical basicity, average distance between rare-earth ions, and optical packing density of the present glasses has been evaluated. The glass samples obtained show high density which is vital factor for radiation shielding. The absorption spectra show significant of bands Sm3+ ions. The FTIR results of Gd-La-Zn-B-Sm (Gd-1Sm) glass samples show signature borate BO<inf>3</inf> and BO<inf>4</inf> vibrational units in Gd-1Sm glass samples. The μ, μ<inf>m</inf>, HVL, TVL, and MFP were evaluated and showed that the values decrease with increasing X-ray energy whereas increase with an increase in Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> content suggesting their potential use in X-ray diagnosis regions. The HVL value was compared with commercial windows, concrete, Serpentine and X-ray windows and found that the glasses doped with 10 mol%, 15mol%, and 20 mol% Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> content showed better results than X-Ray windows at 10 kVp. The emission and excitation spectra of glass samples were studied and emission spectra show orange emission bands. The experimental lifetime analysis shows that the glass samples show decreasing trend from 1.161 to 1.128 ms with an increase in Gd3+ ions exhibiting single exponential nature.

Dy3+:Na<inf>2</inf>O-Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> (Dy:NAGP) glasses were fabricated to investigate the capability for radiation responses. The influence of Dy<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> concentration on glass properties was studied. The density and effective atomic number of glass increased with the addition of Dy<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> content. The glasses absorbed the photons in the ultraviolet, visible light, and near-infrared region. In photoluminescence (PL) spectra, the obvious yellow emission at 574 nm and blue emission at 482 nm of Dy3+ were both generated by the direct excitation and the Gd-Dy energy transfer. The PL decay time of glasses was in the millisecond order. There was thermal quenching observed in temperature-dependent luminescence (TDL). The radioluminescence (RL) and protonluminescence (PrL) represented the emission pattern of Dy3+ similarly to PL spectra. The concentration quenching caused 0.50Dy:NAGP glass with the highest PL and RL emission intensity. The X-ray imaging of developed glass using a synchrotron light source was successfully imaged for the first time.

The melt-quenching approach was implemented to create terbium-doped lithium sodium potassium borate glasses (LNKBTb). Archimedes’ principle, absorption and luminescence spectra, including CIE chromaticity were used to characterize the properties of glasses. Terbium in glasses absorbs photon in the visible and near infrared ranges. The intense green emission at 544 nm was generated by the terbium 5D<inf>4</inf> to 7F<inf>5</inf> transition when excited with ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) light. The emission intensities of LNKBTb glasses increased with increasing terbium concentrations up to 4 mol%, after which they decreased, resulting in the concentration quenching effect, whereas decay time decreases as Tb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> content increases. In CIE 1931, the overall color of emission is green. May bring can continue to develop to use as a photonic material in green light sources and lasers.

This paper investigated the europium-doped lithium sodium potassium borate glasses (LNKBEu). Glass was made using a melt-quenching technique with a range of europium doping concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 5.0 mol%. The absorption spectra showed that photons in the visible light and near infrared ranges were absorbed by the LNKBEu glasses. Photon absorption at 394 nm can excite the mirror to emit a number of photons in the VIS region, such as 590, 613, 652, and 701 nm. The results showed that 3.0 mol% was the optimal concentration of LNKBEu glass. Therefore, 3.0LNKBEu glass was studied using Judd-Ofelt (JO) analysis, which revealed an interesting possibility of its use. This glass is a high power red laser device.

The luminescent powders from rare-earth ions doped oxides have been successfully used for latent fingerprint detection due to high efficiency, high contrast and low background interface. The Gd<inf>2</inf>MoB<inf>2</inf>O<inf>9</inf>:Eu3+ phosphors with varying compositions of Eu3+ions were synthesized by solid state reaction method. These phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), and decay curves studies. Multiphoton relaxation decay rate and coupling strength was evaluated using phonon side band spectrum showing 0.4 mol% doped samples show less non radiative decay rate. The 0.40 mol% of Eu3+ ion concentration doped in the Gd<inf>2</inf>MoB<inf>2</inf>O<inf>9</inf> host lattice show highest photoluminescence emission intensity at 613 nm, in orange red region, monitored at 394 nm excitation. The Gd<inf>2</inf>MoB<inf>2</inf>O<inf>9</inf>:Eu3+ phosphors samples were optimized to 900 °C sintering temperature and optimum milling time at 3 min in the present work. The latent fingerprints detection that developed from Gd<inf>2</inf>MoB<inf>2</inf>O<inf>9</inf>:Eu3+ phosphors in this work exhibited clearly ridge characteristics under UV illumination. The results revealed thatGd<inf>2</inf>MoB<inf>2</inf>O<inf>9</inf>:Eu3+ phosphors are potential practical forensic science applications.
