Fusible alloys: A potential candidate for gamma rays shield design

An Investigation on Radiation Shielding Properties of Borosilicate Glass Systems

“…Table 1 shows theoretical density, which range from 3.798 to 3.957 g/cm 3 , and weight fractions of each glasses. The samples with the lowest density are BSABa-25.…”

“…With the developing technology, lead, which has been discovered to be a heavy metal by spectroscopic analysis, has a high density and therefore is in the heavy metals class. Thanks to this feature, it has been discovered that it is the best absorbent material environment when it interacts radiation energy, and it has been used for shielding and it continues to be widely used today [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, in addition to the advantages of lead, it also has important disadvantages such as the low material strength, the difficulties it causes during its use, the cost, the lack of a transparent structure. Due to its widespread use, the structure of lead accumulated in the environment is not suitable for biodegradation, and therefore, with its increasing concentration, it causes a permanent threat to nature and living things by taking place in the environment.…”

“…While the majority of these studies analyze the radiation shielding parameters of various glasses at medium and high energy levels, there are very few studies that examine the gamma and neutron radiation shielding parameters of various glass systems at medical diagnostic energies [34][35][36][37]. Therefore, this study include radiation shielding parameters of the 5B2O3 -40SiO2 -(55-x) Al2O3 -xBaO (BSABa-x), (where x = 25, 28, 31 and 34 (with these additive rates theoretical ρ range from 3.798 to 3.957 g/cm 3 )) glass systems, which are containing barium and aluminum oxide added to borosilicate glasses and theoretical density range from 3.798 to 3.957 g/cm 3 , in medical diagnosis energy scales.…”

Characterization of gamma radiation shielding properties of different ratios of Eu2O3 — Li2O — TeO2 mixtures using Geant4 simulation code and WinXCOM software

“…Bununla birlikte, deneysel sistemlerin veya ölçümü yapılacak numunelerin bulunmadığı durumlarda, deneysel ölçüm sistemlerinin bilgisayar ortamında modellenmesi ve araştırmaların Monte Carlo simülasyonları ile gerçekleştirilmesi büyük oranda esneklik ve hız kazandırabilmektedir. Son yıllarda beton, kum, kil, tuğla, seramik, polymer ve alaşımlar gibi çeşitli doğal veya sentetik olarak üretilmiş malzemelerin radyasyon yalıtım özellikleri farklı araştırmacılar tarafından deneysel yöntemler veya Monte Carlo simülasyonları kullanılarak belirlenmiştir [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

(90-x)TeO2—xMoO3—10ZnO Cam Sisteminin Gama Işını Zırhlama Özelliklerinin Geant4 Simulasyon Kodu ve WinXCOM Veri Tabanı Kullanılarak Araştırılması

“…Recently, radiation shielding properties of different natural or synthetically produced materials, such as concrete, sand, cement, bricks, tiles, glasses, clay materials, polymers and alloys has been studied by different researchers [1,8].…”
