Abstract

This study highlights the influence of replacing Na₂O with NaF on the photon interaction parameters of 40SiO₂-20Al₂O₃-(10 + x)Na₂O-(20-x)NaF-10YF₃ (for x = 0, 2, 5, 7, 10). The mass attenuation coefficients (MACs) and mass energy absorption coefficients (MEACs) of the glass ceramics were computed for gamma-rays in the 15 keV-15MeV energy range using the NIST-XCOM database. The MAC and MAEC vary within the ranges of 0.0224–10.1508 cm²/g and 0.0156–6.4896 cm²/g for Si-ANNYF1, 0.0223–9.8821 cm²/g and 0.0164–6.3694 cm²/g for Si-ANNYF2, 0.0222–9.6097 cm²/g and 0.0163–6.2508 cm²/g for Si-ANNYF3, 0.0221–9.3724 cm²/g and 0.0163–5.5476 cm²/g for Si-ANNYF4, and 0.0220–9.1310 cm²/g and 0.0162–5.4131 cm²/g for Si-ANNYF5. The analysis of other estimated parameters showed that increasing the relative weight proportion of NaF₂ relative to Na₂O influenced the ability of the glass ceramics to interact and absorb energy from incident gamma photons. Adding more NaF made the glass ceramics better at confining photons in both the narrow and broad beams scenarios. The Si-ANNYFx glass ceramics are recommended for gamma shielding applications in nuclear industries.

SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O-NaF-YF3 硅酸盐玻璃的宽窄光子传输和能量吸收参数

本研究强调了用 NaF 替代 Na2O 对 40SiO2-20Al2O3-(10 + x)Na2O-(20-x)NaF-10YF3 （x = 0、2、5、7、10）的光子相互作用参数的影响。利用 NIST-XCOM 数据库计算了玻璃陶瓷的质量衰减系数（MAC）和质量能量吸收系数（MEAC），适用于 15 keV-15MeV 能量范围内的伽马射线。Si-ANNYF1 的 MAC 和 MAEC 分别为 0.0224-10.1508 cm2/g 和 0.0156-6.4896 cm2/g，Si-ANNYF2 为 0.0223-9.8821 cm2/g 和 0.0164-6.3694 cm2/g，Si-ANNYF3 为 0.0222-9.6097 cm2/g 和 0.0164-6.3694 cm2/g。6097 cm2/g 和 0.0163-6.2508 cm2/g，Si-ANNYF4 为 0.0221-9.3724 cm2/g 和 0.0163-5.5476 cm2/g，Si-ANNYF5 为 0.0220-9.1310 cm2/g 和 0.0162-5.4131 cm2/g。对其他估计参数的分析表明，增加 NaF2 相对于 Na2O 的重量比例会影响玻璃陶瓷与入射伽马光子相互作用并吸收能量的能力。添加更多的 NaF 使玻璃陶瓷在窄光束和宽光束情况下都能更好地限制光子。建议将 Si-ANNYFx 玻璃陶瓷用于核工业中的伽马屏蔽应用。

期刊介绍： The journal Silicon is intended to serve all those involved in studying the role of silicon as an enabling element in materials science. There are no restrictions on disciplinary boundaries provided the focus is on silicon-based materials or adds significantly to the understanding of such materials. Accordingly, such contributions are welcome in the areas of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, nanoscience, environmental science, electronics and optoelectronics, and modeling and theory. Relevant silicon-based materials include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, composites, ceramics, glasses, coatings, resins, composites, small molecules, and thin films.
