A comprehensive study on radiation shielding characteristics of Tin-Silver, Manganin-R, Hastelloy-B, Hastelloy-X and Dilver-P alloys

Analysis of the Radiation Attenuation Parameters of Cu2HgI4, Ag2HgI4, and (Cu/Ag/Hg I) Semiconductor Compounds

“…The R values for all samples reach a maximum at 1.5 MeV because the total cross-section is constant. The inelastic scattering reaches a maximum value within the selected range and is almost independent of the sample structure [2]. The R values at 1.5 MeV are 0.915, 0.914, 0.956, 0.948 and 0.859 for samples Cu 2 HgI 4 , Ag 2 HgI 4 , CuI, AgI and HgI respectively.…”

“…The attenuation coefficient can calculate the probability of possible interactions between gamma rays and atomic nuclei. The MAC, mass attenuation coefficient, accurate values are required to produce key data in various fields such as dosimeter protection, radiation shielding, nuclear diagnostic and medicine, and other applications [2,3]. Half value (HVL), mean free path (MFP), effective nuclear number (Z eff ), effective electron density (N eff ), and effective conductivity (C eff ) are also important quantities required to know the gamma-ray penetration [2,4].…”

Detecting photon buildup factors is critical for determining a defensive material's effectiveness [4].…”

“…Preserving the environment from gamma radiation is most often achieved with lead and concrete [4]. However, the toxicity of lead and its low melting point have limited its use in nuclear applications [2]. Concrete also has limitations in its use as a shield due to its immovability and the generation of cracks in structures over time [8][9][10].…”

Microstructural, thermal, and radiation shielding properties of Al50B25Mg25 alloy prepared by mechanical alloying

“…There are many material studied in the literature that is focused on radiation shielding [6][7][8][9][10], especially glasses and ceramics systems have been examined [11][12][13][14] but alloys are more preferred than other materials in radiation protection applications [15] as they have optimal properties such as density, heat resistance, melting point, homogeneity, and mechanical strength, and have high production possibilities in many different combinations [16,17]. Aluminum alloys are widely used in many application areas, such as nuclear reactor boilers, where good weldability and excellent corrosion resistance are required [18].…”
