Glass density, molar volume, oxygen packing density, and many other physical parameters were measured. UV-spectra in the wave length range (200-800) nm have been measured for the whole glass series. The optical energy band gap E opt , refractive index, and optical basicity were measured. The mass absorption coefficients (μ m ) are determined experimentally by the HPGe detector and compared with the theoretical values obtained by XCOM program and MCNP5 simulation code within (0.121–1.408) MeV photon energy range. Half value layer (HVL), effective atomic number and electron density (Z eff and N eff ), and macroscopic removal cross-section (∑R) were evaluated. The sample [55TeO 2 – 25B 2 O 3 – 10Bi 2 O 3 – 10Li 2 O] possess the highest values of (μ m = 1.192 ± 0.033 cm 2 /g, Z eff = 56.12 e/atom and ∑ R = 0.101499 cm -1 ) at energy 121 keV also lower values of (HVL = 0.121 cm, TVL = 0.1 cm and MFP = 0.174 cm) at photon energy 121 keV, therefore this sample considered the best gamma ray shielding material among the prepared glasses.
