Abstract
Some photon interaction parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient, effective atomic number, half value layer, mean free path and electron density for 15ZnO–(17.5–x)Al2O3–xFe2O3–67.5P2O5 glass system (x = 0, 7.5, 12.5, 17.5) and 15ZnO–(25–x)Al2O3–xFe2O3–60P2O5 glass system (x = 0, 25) have been investigated in the photon energy range of 1 keV to 100 GeV. It has been observed that all the photon interaction parameters for the selected glass systems vary with the photon energy. Among the selected glass systems, the sample 15ZnO–25Fe2O3–60P2O5 glass system shows maximum values for mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic numbers, electron densities and minimum values for mean free path and half value layer in the entire energy grid.
