Computation of EABF and EBF for basalt rock samples

TiB2 Thin Film Coated Glass and High Speed Steel (HSS) in Applications of Radiation Shielding Technology

“…And they are significant parameters in dosimetry, therapy and, shielding applications. The buildup factors for any composite material can be calculated by the well-known G-P fitting method, and this procedure was referred to previously in the literature [24,[26][27][28]. In this point, Zeq was firstly computed via the following equation: Z1 and Z2 represent the atomic numbers of the elements corresponding to the ratios R1 and R2, respectively, and R is the ratio for the chosen building materials at a specific energy: = ( ⁄ ) ( ⁄ ) ⁄ by using WinXCom program [29].…”

“…Radiation shielding has been the subject of research in various materials such as concretes [11][12][13], glass systems [14][15][16][17], steel [18][19][20][21][22], cement mixture [23] and basalt rock samples [24]. However, to the best of our knowledge radiation shielding properties of TiB2 coated glass and HSS have not been investigated yet.…”

Nano-structured natural bentonite clay coated by polyvinyl alcohol polymer for gamma rays attenuation

“…A number of experimental and theoretical works have been performed on radiation shielding, which has large different application areas with different materials such as bricks [15], ores [16,17], glasses [18,19], organic compounds [20], minerals [21], soil [22,23]), rocks [24][25][26][27], concretes [28,29] and building materials [30,31]. Variety of rocks and concretes are used in the radiation shielding technology because of its high attenuation cross section for X-rays, gamma ray photons and neutrons.…”

Determination of Build-up Factors for Natural Black Obsidian Ores

“…Gama-ışını yığılma faktörleri konusu uzun süreden beri çok farklı materyaller üzerinde yaygın bir şekilde araştırılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda camlar (Sayyed et al 2017); barit, manyetit, limonit, hematit ve serpantin gibi çeşitli cevherler (Oto et al 2015); bazalt kaya örnekleri (Karabul et al 2015); dozimetrik malzemeler (Kurudirek, 2014); termolüminesans dozimetrik malzemeler (Manohara et al 2010, Kucuk et al 2013; topraklar (Dhillon et al 2012); seramikler (Singh et al 2013); çözücüler (Singh et al 2008); polimerler (Singh et al 2009); bazı bor bileşikleri (İçelli et al 2013) ve sıva betonları (Singh et al 2010) gibi faklı malzemelerde gama ışını yığılma faktörü ile ilgili başarılı çalışmalara literatürde rastlamak mümkündür. Bu araştırmaların çoğu radyasyon zırh ve koruma açısından yapılmıştır.…”
