The combined FTIR and XRD results establish that the samples retain their amorphous nature while undergoing significant short-range structural modifications. Both experimental measurements and theoretical modelling using Phy-X/PSD software were employed to assess mass attenuation coefficients (G<sub>MAC</sub>), linear attenuation coefficients (G<sub>LAC</sub>), half-value layer (G<sub>HVL</sub>), mean free path (G<sub>MFP</sub>), transmission factor (TF), and radiation protection efficiency (RPF) across gamma energies of 356, 511, 661.7, 1173.2, 1274.5, and 1332.5 keV. Experimental G<sub>MAC</sub> values closely aligned with theoretical data, with deviations under 6 %, validating the experimental approach. The present study outcomes reveal that increasing PbO<sub>2</sub>/CaO content enhances gamma shielding by raising density and photon interaction, with Pb15Ca16 showing superior attenuation, lowest HVL, TF and RPE above 50 % at 1 cm for 356 keV. These findings highlight Pb15Ca16 as a promising candidate for radiation shielding applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18265,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Bulletin","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 113792"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145154617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research investigates the potential of nanoscale Schottky-type contacts to overcome conventional CMOS scaling limitations by leveraging enhanced quantum tunneling and thermionic emission across engineered interfaces. A novel metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) diode architecture is developed by integrating a two-dimensional (2D) monolayer of gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) onto an n-type silicon (n-Si) substrate, separated by a thin SiO₂ insulating layer. The study systematically explores the influence of Au-NP diameters (20 nm, 30 nm, and 40 nm) on charge transport mechanisms. Nanoparticle monolayers were fabricated via drop-casting under an external electric field to ensure uniform alignment. Structural characterization confirmed well-distributed and high-quality monolayers. Electrical measurements revealed a strong size-dependent behavior: the 20 nm Au-NP-based diode exhibited the highest reverse-bias tunneling current (–0.2234 mA at –3.6 V), the lowest contact resistance, and the smallest effective contact area due to enhanced electric field localization. Diodes with larger particles showed reduced tunneling efficiency and higher resistive losses. COMSOL simulations supported the experimental findings, demonstrating that smaller Au-NPs generate higher electric field intensities (4.15 × 10⁸ V/m) at the interface, significantly boosting tunneling probability. These results demonstrate that Au-NP monolayers can be precisely engineered to enhance charge transport across MIS junctions, offering a scalable pathway for high-performance nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18265,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Bulletin","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 113790"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145154615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
