The γ-ray densitometer has been designed and fabricated in our laboratory and carried out studies on temperature dependent γ-ray attenuation and thermo physical properties of NaCl, NaBr and NaF. The linear attenuation coefficients (μl) for the pellets of NaCl, NaBr and NaF as a function of temperature have been determined. The coefficients of temperature dependence of density have been reported. The variation of density and thermal expansion of NaCl, NaBr and NaF in the temperature range of 300 K-1000 K have been studied and compared with results available in the literature. The temperature dependence of density and thermal expansion has been represented by linear equations. Volume thermal expansion coefficients have been reported.

The gamma quanta attenuation studies have been carried out to determine mass attenuation coefficients of 7041, 7075 and 7095 wrought aluminum alloys. The temperature dependence of linear attenuation coefficient, density and thermal expansion of these wrought aluminum alloys in the temperature range 300 K - 850 K have been reported. The measurements were done by using a gamma ray densitometer designed and fabricated in our laboratory. The data on variation of density and linear thermal expansion with temperature have been represented by linear equations. Volume thermal expansion coefficients have been reported.
