The glass system 75BO - 4.5ZnF - 0.5 ErO- ZnO- CeO, = (0 ≤ ≤ 1 mol. %) was manufactured using a melt quenching process, with CeO substituted for ZnO in the glass matrix in concentrations ranging from 0 to 1 mol %. The Makishima-Mackenzie model and sound wave velocity measurements were used to evaluate the mechanical parameters and elastic characteristics of the examined glass system, respectively. The results showed that increasing CeO doping ratio from 0 to 1 mol% increased density, sound velocities, elastic properties, and microhardness from 5.80 to 9.01 GPa. Phy-X/PSD software was employed to assess the effect of replacing ZnO with CeO on shielding capacity. The obtained results revealed that replacing ZnO with CeO enhances shielding characteristics and the manufactured glass may be useful in shielding applications.
采用熔体淬火工艺制备了玻璃体系75BO - 4.5ZnF - 0.5ErO - ZnO - CeO₂(0≤x≤1摩尔%),在玻璃基体中用CeO₂替代ZnO,替代浓度范围为0至1摩尔%。分别使用真木岛 - 麦肯齐模型和声波速度测量来评估所研究玻璃体系的力学参数和弹性特性。结果表明,将CeO₂掺杂比例从0增加到1摩尔%会使密度、声速、弹性性能和显微硬度从5.80吉帕增加到9.01吉帕。使用Phy-X/PSD软件评估用CeO₂替代ZnO对屏蔽能力的影响。所得结果表明,用CeO₂替代ZnO可增强屏蔽特性,所制备的玻璃可能在屏蔽应用中有用。
