Abstract

In this work are reported five Al/Bi synthetized alloys with 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90 % of bismuth. XCOM calculations suggest the best shielding capacity for the sample made with 50Al/50Bi. Half value layer results compared with a pure Aluminum sample show reduction in thickness higher than 65 % for photon energies from 1 to 100 keV. These results suggest that 50Al/50Bi can be used as shielding barrier in mammography, dental machines, bone x-rays and cancer treatment in the medical field.

铝铋合金的合成及其对电离能屏蔽能力的测定

本文报道了5种铋含量分别为10%、30%、50%、70%和90%的Al/Bi合成合金。XCOM计算表明，50Al/50Bi的样品屏蔽能力最好。与纯铝样品相比，当光子能量从1到100 keV时，半值层厚度减少了65%以上。这些结果表明，50Al/50Bi可作为屏蔽屏障应用于乳腺x线摄影、牙科机器、骨x光和癌症治疗等医疗领域。

期刊介绍： Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment. The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
