abstract={Gamma-ray attenuation coefficients (the half value layer parameters, gamma ¨C ray shielding properties) for the <i>x</i><i> </i>ZnO - (5?<i>x</i>) Bi<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> -10 B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> -40 SiO<SUB>2</SUB> (<i>x</i> = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20) at 662, 1173 and 1332 keV photon energies have been determined experimentally, using a narrow beam transmission method, as well as theoretically using the ¡®mixture rule¡¯ and the ¡®XCOM¡¯ computer software. The molar volume and FTIR investigations have been used to study the structural properties of the glass system. Optical, UV-visible, absorption measurements were performed also to investigate the transmittance aimed to investigate the performance of the glass system for using as hot cells for shielding windows in nuclear technology.},
