Abstract
Radiation has been one of the most important phenomena since its discovery and it has been used in different fields. Due to the its hazardous effect it should be shielded and thus new alternative material should be developed. In this study radiological parameters for two type composite materials have been calculated at gamma ray energies of 10−3-105 MeV. These gamma ray shielding parameters are mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), mean free path (mfp), half valu length (HVL), tenth value length (TVL), Atomic cross section (ACS), electronic cross section (ECS), effective atomic number (Z eff), Effective electron density (N eff), effective conductivity (C eff), equivalent atomic number (Z eq), exposure buildup factor (EBF) of the two different composites. The calculations were done using Phy-X/PSD software.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research is constantly evolving and correlations between process, structure, properties and performance which are application specific require expert understanding at the macro-, micro- and nano-scale. The ability to intelligently manipulate material properties and tailor them for desired applications is of constant interest and challenge within universities, national labs and industry.
