Studies on mass attenuation coefficient, effective atomic number and electron density of some thermoluminescent dosimetric compounds

Numerical Investigation on Photon Sensing Parameters for Some Thermoluminescence Dosimeters: A Comparative Study

“…dominance region. Similar trend in MAC with energy had been reported by Gowda et al 22 and Onder et al 24 Further, it can be observed that TLD materials having majority of higher Z constituent elements like CdSO Linear attenuation coefficient (LAC).-Linear attenuation coefficient is directly related with MAC as expressed in Eq. 2.…”

“…[26][27][28] Present work reports the comparative analysis of fifteen TLDs (twelve inorganic materials doped with rare earth elements and three organic materials) with respect to different photon sensing parameters. Mostly, researchers [22][23][24][25] had neglected the composition of dopants while computing/measuring the photon sensing parameters; whereas dopants plays a significant role in the sensing property. Further, the variation of different photon sensing properties were also analysed with respect to photon energy and nature of the TLDs (chemical composition/density).…”

Effective atomic numbers and electron densities for some lanthanide oxide compounds using direct method in the energy region of 1 keV - 20 MeV

“…The Zeffs and Neffs are employed in radiation studies, especially for the characterization of interaction processes in various multi-element materials. There are a lot studies in literature about Zeffs and Neffs for different materials, in different categories such as in different type of compounds (Shivaramu and V. Ramprasath 2000;Tengku Kamarul Bahr et al 2014;Kurudirek 2014aKurudirek , 2014bGowda et al 2004;Önder et al 2012;Kurudirek and Kurudirek 2015), in alloys (Kurudirek et al 2010;Kaewkhao et al 2008;İçelli et al 2005;Murty 2004;El-Kateb et al 2000), in glass and minerals (Kaewkhao and Limsuwan 2010;Manohara et al 2009;Kirdsiri et al 2009;Singh et al 2002Singh et al , 2005 in biological materials (Manohara et al 2008;Manohara and Hanagodimath 2007;Gowda et al 2005). However, studies about lanthanides on Zeff and Neff are very scarce (İçelli 2006;Singh et al 2015).…”

Studies on mass attenuation coefficient, mass energy absorption coefficient, and kerma for Fe alloys at photon energies of 17.44 to 51.70 keV

“…Han and Demir investigated mass attenuation coefficients, and effective atomic and electron numbers of Ti and Ni alloys [2]. Saim et al investigated mass attenuation coefficients, and effective atomic and electronic numbers of Cd 1−x Zn x Te alloys in the gamma ray energy region from 10 to 100 keV [3]. The mass attenuation coefficients for 22 high purity elemental materials were measured in the X-ray energy obtained by a variable energy X-ray source range from 13 keV to 50 keV using a high purity germanium detector [4].…”
