ceramics samples was prepared to investigate the structural, morphology and radiation shielding features. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and UV-vis-NIR were used to explore the structural, morphology, and optical properties for current ceramics samples. Radiation shielding properties for different ionizing radiation such as neutrons, protons, alpha particles, and gamma-ray were investigated theoretically. The XRD results display the monoclinic structure for all ceramics samples. FTIR results reveal five vibrational bands. The SEM results appear particles stoned, sharp, and agglomerated. The bandgap and the density show gradual enhancement with adding ZnO. On another hand, the S6 sample exhibits the highest gamma shielding properties and the fast neutron removal cross section (Σ
R
). In contrast, sample S1 appears maximum mass stopping power (MSP) for proton and alpha particles. The obtained results nominate the sample S6 to use in the radiation shielding field.
