A Promising Glass Type in Electronic and Laser Applications: Elastic Moduli, Mechanical, and Photon Transmission Properties of WO3 Reinforced Ternary-Tellurite Glasses. Symmetry 2023, 15, 602. https:// doi.org/10.3390/sym15030602Abstract
We report the symmetry of mechanical and gamma-ray attenuation properties for some
tellurite glasses through elastic moduli, mechanical, and transmission properties as a function
of varied WO3 amount in glass configuration. Four glass samples, along with different molar
compositions as well as WO3/GdF3 substitution ratios, are investigated. Transmission properties
using several essential parameters, such as attenuation coefficients, half-value layers, effective atomic
numbers, effective conductivity, and buildup factors, are calculated in the 0.015–15 MeV energy
range. Moreover, elastic moduli and Poisson’s ratios ( ) of the studied glass are calculated using the
Makishima–Mackenzie model. The M4 sample with the highest WO3 addition is found with superior
photon attenuation properties among the glasses investigated. Poisson’s ratio ( ) is increased, while
all elastic moduli are decreased. Young’s modulus is reported as 62.23 GPa and 36.45.37 GPa at
the highest and lowest WO3 mol%, respectively. It can be concluded that WO3 is a functional and
monotonic tool in ternary-tellurite glasses for multiple modifications and enhancement purposes
on gamma-ray attenuation, elastic moduli, and mechanical properties. It can also be concluded
that increasing the WO3 amount in tellurite glasses may be considered a tool in terms of providing
symmetry for mechanical and gamma-ray attenuation properties.
