The research encompasses an in-depth analysis of seven alloys, namely GTSB5, Sn%40Bi, Bi50Sn50, A1, PbAl-4, Safe Alloy, and P1, assessing their efficacy in gamma-ray and neutron attenuation. Utilizing some computational tools, various parameters such as mass and linear attenuation coefficients, half and tenth value layer values, effective atomic and electron numbers, buildup factors, and transmission values were evaluated. Our findings highlight Alloy P1's outstanding performance, attributed to its high density (11.05 g/cm³) and optimized elemental composition, including Silver (Ag). In addition, P1 demonstrates exceptional gamma-ray attenuation across multiple energy spectra and superior neutron shielding capabilities, evidenced by its significant fast neutron removal cross-section (∑_R, 0.12003 1/cm). The study revealed that the addition of Ag enhances the photon and beta particle absorption capacity, positioning P1 as a promising material in radiation shielding applications. The correlations between alloy density and gamma-ray shielding properties were particularly notable, with P1's density contributing to its enhanced attenuation capabilities. Furthermore, P1's lower half value layers (1.14469 cm) and tenth value layers (3.80256 cm) at 15 MeV indicate its efficiency in reducing radiation intensity with minimal material thickness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 113006"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144242735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, significant discrepancies exist regarding the influence of helium on the formation of irradiation defects in RAFM steel. In this study, He⁺ irradiation experiments at 18 keV, 50 keV and 100 keV were conducted at 450 °C to investigate the effects of varying helium concentrations on defect formation under the same peak displacement damage dose. By adjusting the irradiation fluence, the irradiations with different He⁺ energies were controlled to produce identical peak displacement damage doses but different peak helium concentrations. The results showed that compared to 50 keV He⁺ irradiation, 18 keV He⁺ irradiation, which introduced a higher helium concentration, led to larger helium bubble size, higher bubble density and greater swelling. This indicates that under the same peak displacement damage dose, a higher helium concentration significantly promotes the nucleation and growth of helium bubbles, thereby enhancing the swelling of the material. It is noteworthy that, despite the lowest helium concentration, 100 keV He⁺ irradiation resulted in the largest helium bubble size, highest bubble density and greatest swelling among the three irradiation energies. This may be attributed to the higher primary knock-on atom (PKA) energy associated with the 100 keV He⁺ irradiation, which can promote the nucleation and growth of irradiation induced defects. Thus, the promoting effect of higher PKA energy on defect formation appears to dominate in this case.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 113035"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144221715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synthesized via the slow evaporation route, this investigation is part of an ongoing experimental series initiated by Silva et al. (2022), exploring CaSO₄:Mn,Tb crystals at a concentration of 0.1 mol %, validating their properties for dosimetric purposes. A structural phase identification was conducted using X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) spectra confirming the presence of Tb³⁺ and Mn²⁺ ions in the crystalline matrices. Dosimetric characterization utilized pellets prepared by incorporating Teflon into the phosphors. In-depth investigations involved analyzing TL glow curves and Continuous Wave Optically Stimulated Luminescence (CW-OSL) curves. Observations revealed that TL intensity increased as the co-doped concentration of Tb decreased while maintaining the concentration of Mn constant, in both visible and UV regions. Conversely, at a constant terbium concentration, increasing Mn²⁺ concentration enhanced the sensitivity of low-temperature TL traps in the visible region. However, at higher Mn concentrations, such as 1 % and 2 %, TL intensity in deeper traps decreased. In the UV region, TL signals remained stable as the concentration of Mn²⁺ increased from 0.1 % to 0.5 %, with only a slight shift in peak temperatures. Concentrations above 1 % led to a decrease in TL intensity. All samples produced suitable OSL curves. Fixing Mn²⁺ at 1 mol % and decreasing Tb³⁺ concentration also resulted in increased OSL signals. The optimal Mn²⁺ concentration, with Tb³⁺ fixed at 0.1 mol %, was found to be at 0.1 mol %, where OSL sensitivity was maximized. This research underscores the importance of optimizing dopant concentrations to enhance the potential of these phosphors for precise and reliable dosimetry, thereby advancing both the understanding of these materials and their potential for further development in the field of radiation dosimetry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"237 ","pages":"Article 113032"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144204082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
