Experimental investigation of gamma radiation shielding ability of some building materials in Bitlis (Turkey)

Comparing the efficiency of fly ash geopolymer attenuation and cement mortar as diagnostic x-ray shielding materials through theory and experiment

“…Researchers proposed this mixture as a potential substitute for concrete in the context of radiation shielding [37][38][39][40]. The γ-ray attenuation coefficients of limestone, bricks and concrete in Jordan were also measured [41][42][43][44][45][46]. We calculated the density and mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ) of several building materials typically used in Brazil [47].…”

Theoretical and simulation assessment of shielding features of the B2O3-PbO-SiO2-Dy2O3 glass system using GEANT4 and MCNP codes, and online software for X-ray energy range

“…Different type of materials and compositions, is tested to gain the best protection against photon, neutron, and ions. In the recent years, usage of various compositions of polymers [4][5][6][7][8], glasses [9][10][11][12][13], stones and rocks [14][15][16][17], alloys [18][19][20][21], and concretes [22][23][24][25] against gamma, neutron and ion radiation have been more interesting for the investigators. Easy to generate, high optical transparency, low-priced, low melting temperature, high heat resistance, chemical durability, and easy formatting in shapes and sizes are special physical, chemical, and mechanical properties for glasses and glass-ceramics that make them more intriguing for shielding aims [26,27].…”
