Effective Atomic Numbers and Electron Densities of BaO-Na sub(2) O-B sub(2) O sub(3)-SiO sub(2) Glass System: Theoretical Calculation

In this work, the mass attenuation coefficients, the effective atomic numbers and the effective electron densities of BaO-Na sub(2) O-B sub(2) O sub(3)-SiO sub(2) glass have been studied at 662 keV using WinXCom program. The result show that the mass attenuation coefficients increased with increasing of BaO concentration, reflecting that more photon is attenuated. The effective atomic numbers and the effective electron densities are similar trend with mass attenuation coefficients, reflecting that more virtual electron when higher BaO concentration and more interaction will be occurred in glass matrices.
