Four Bi-based alloys (Bi–10Zn, Bi–10Sn, Bi–10In and Bi–10Ag) have been prepared utilizing melt-spinning technique. These alloys were composed of high purity elements such as Bi, Zn, Sn, In and Ag. Utilizing X-ray diffraction, the crystal structure of the prepared alloys was examined. The mechanical features in terms of Vickers hardness Hv and the creep behavior have been determined using Vickers microhardness test machine for the prepared alloys. The rapid solidification process had positive effects on the Vickers hardness Hv of the alloys due to several factors, including the refinement of grain size, enhanced alloy homogeneity, elimination of grain boundary segregation, increased solubility of solute elements, and the formation of new metastable crystalline structures, as well as a reduction in the degree of order. The WinXCom program was used to evaluate the shielding efficiency of various Bi-alloys against X/gamma radiation in the energy range of 0.015–15 MeV. Compared to other typical shielding materials and recently researched substances, the studied alloys demonstrate effective gamma shielding properties. The Sn–50Ag alloy exhibit superior mechanical and shielding against gamma rays performance. Consequently, the Bi–10Ag alloy strike a favorable balance between shielding and mechanical performance, making them suitable for radiation protection. Additionally, when compared to all other prepared alloys, conventional neutron shielding materials, and recently studied substances, the Bi–10Zn and Bi–10Ag alloys possesses the highest capability for absorbing neutrons. Lastly, the Bi–10Ag alloy demonstrates exceptional performance in attenuating protons (H<sup>+1</sup>) and alpha particles (He<sup>+2</sup>) in terms of projected range (PR) and stopping power (MSP). These findings indicate that the Bi–10Ag alloy offer excellent nuclear shielding and mechanical performance, making it well-suited for various applications, including nuclear waste storage, industrial processes, and medical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"229 ","pages":"Article 112510"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967849","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}

For the thickness changes of different layers, in addition to measuring the remaining energies in the neutron flux, the cross-sections corresponding to those energies were also measured in order to calculate the required shield thicknesses for different powers of the device in different working conditions.

The composites were fabricated using the melt-mixing and hot-pressing methods.

The results show that the PE+20% WO<sub>3</sub> has the highest values of neutron removal macroscopic cross-section and gamma linear attenuation coefficient for single-layer shielding. For multilayer configuration, PE+10%Cd with PE+10% WO<sub>3</sub> (Cd10/W10) has the best mixed neutron-gamma radiation attenuation performance. The results will help in the development of alternative materials for better radiation protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"229 ","pages":"Article 112506"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142925298","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}
