Optimizing sorosilicate crystals for γ-ray shielding: Role of density and SiO2 content
This study investigates the radiation shielding properties of a series of sorosilicate crystals by examining their LAC values at photon energies of 0.015 to 15.0 MeV. Detailed analyses were conducted to explore the effects of chemical composition, particularly SiO2 weight percentage, on the LAC value of these crystals. The results reveal that the LAC value is significantly influenced by both the density and the SiO2 content of the materials. Notably, the LAC value increases with density and exhibits a non-linear cubic relationship with SiO2 wt%, with maximum attenuation observed at approximately 25 % SiO2 wt% and E = 0.015 MeV for the Hemimorphite crystal. These findings suggest that sorosilicate crystals with optimized SiO2 content and density offer promising potential for advanced radiation shielding applications. The study provides crucial insights into the material selection and design for radiation protection, emphasizing the importance of compositional control in enhancing shielding efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
