Three borate glass systems with chemical formula 65 B₂O₃ + 30 Na₂O + 5 (x) wt%; x = Al₂O₃, MgO, and Li₂O were fabricated by the common melting-annealing method and coded as BNAl, BNMg, and BNLi, respectively. XRD pattern revealed the non-crystalline form and the glassy states of the prepared samples. UV-optical absorption spectra showed UV cutoff peaks in the range 320–340 nm and optical energy gap (Eopt) by Tauc’s model (E^Tauc’s) and ASF method (E^ASF) revealed quite similar values ranged from 2.60 to 3 eV before irradiation and 2.23 to 2.60 eV after 20 kGy of gamma irradiation. Raman spectra show three detectable regions at; (i) 250–600 cm⁻¹, (ii) 500–1000 cm⁻¹ and (iii) 1000–2000 cm⁻¹ correlated to different borate forms. Many radiation shielding parameters were theoretically calculated using Phy-X/PSD and simulated via Monte Carlo code (MCNP-5) in photon energy range (0.015–15 MeV). Mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), linear gamma attenuation coefficient (LAC), effective atomic number (Z_eff), fast neutron macroscopic cross section (∑_R), exposure buildup factor (EBF) and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) at various penetration depths PD, as well as half (HVL) and tenth value layers (TVL) and mean free path (MFP) were also estimated. The shielding parameters showed the order of (MAC, LAC)_BNAl > (MAC,LAC)_BNMg > (MAC, LAC)_BNLi. The stability of the glasses optical, and structural properties against gamma irradiation indicate the capable use of the glasses for radiation shielding applications specially Al₂O₃ glass with the heaviest atomic weight and the highest capacity for radiation shielding protection.

_{化学式为65 B 2} O ₃  + 30 Na ₂ O + 5 (x) wt%的三种硼酸盐玻璃体系；x=Al ₂ O ₃、MgO和Li ₂ O采用普通熔融退火法制备，分别编码为BNAl、BNMg和BNLi。XRD图谱揭示了所制备样品的非晶态和玻璃态。紫外光吸收光谱显示紫外截止峰在 320–340 nm 范围内，并且通过 Tauc 模型 (E ^Tauc’s ) 和 ASF 方法 (E ^ASF ) 得出的光学能隙 (Eopt ) 在照射前显示出非常相似的值，范围为 2.60 至 3 eV。 20 kGy 伽马射线照射后为 2.23 至 2.60 eV。拉曼光谱显示三个可检测区域：(i)250-600cm ^-1，(ii)500-1000cm ^-1和(iii)1000-2000cm ^-1与不同的硼酸盐形式相关。许多辐射屏蔽参数使用 Phy-X/PSD 进行理论上计算，并通过蒙特卡罗代码 (MCNP-5) 在光子能量范围 (0.015–15 MeV) 内进行模拟。不同穿透力下的质量衰减系数（MAC）、线性伽马衰减系数（LAC）、有效原子序数（Z _eff）、快中子宏观截面（Σ _R）、暴露累积因子（EBF）和能量吸收累积因子（EABF）还估计了深度 PD、半值层 (HVL) 和第十值层 (TVL) 以及平均自由程 (MFP)。屏蔽参数的顺序为(MAC,LAC) _BNAl  >(MAC,LAC) _BNMg  >(MAC,LAC) _BNLi。该玻璃的光学稳定性和抗伽马辐照的结构性能表明该玻璃能够用于辐射屏蔽应用，特别是具有最大原子量和最高辐射屏蔽保护能力的Al ₂ O _3玻璃。
