Popis: In the present study, quaternary system of the composition (0.45 + x) Bi2O3-(0.25 − x) BaO-0.15 B2O3-0.15 Na2O (where 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2 mol fraction) has been prepared by using melt-quenching technique for investigation of gamma ray shielding properties. Mass attenuation coefficients and half value layer parameters have been determined experimentally at 662 keV by using 137Cs source. It has been found that experimental results of these parameters hold good agreement with theoretical values. The density, molar volume, XRD, FTIR, Raman and UV–visible studies have been used to determine structural properties of the prepared glass samples. Dissolution rate of the samples has also been measured to check their utility as long term durable glasses.
