Comparative assessment of fast and thermal neutrons and gamma radiation protection qualities combined with mechanical factors of different borate-based glass systems
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Adequate shielding from ionizing radiations is essential in nuclear facilities because of such radiations’ adverse effects on humans in the event of unwanted or accidental exposure. In the current work, for four distinct ...
Analysis of the Radiological, Mineralogical and Long-Term Sustainability of Several Commercial Aswan Granites Used as Building Materials
(MDPI, 2022)
The widespread usage of granite in the building sector motivated us to conduct this research and examine the material’s sustainability in terms of the investigated characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to discuss ...
A detailed investigation on highly dense CuZr bulk metallic glasses for shielding purposes
(De Gruyter Open, 2022)
Gamma-ray shielding properties of eight different metallic glasses based on CuxZr100-x: x = 35 (Cu35Zr65) - 70 (Cu70Zr30) were determined using Monte Carlo simulations and Phy-X/PSD software. A typical gamma-ray transmission ...
Characterization of Ultramafic–Alkaline–Carbonatite complex for radiation shielding competencies: An experimental and Monte Carlo study with lithological mapping
(Elsevier, 2022)
The Pakkanadu Ultramafic–Alkaline–Carbonatite complex of Salem district has been studied using geochemical and remote sensing aspects. The samples collected from different locations of Pakkanadu were taken for mineralogical ...
Binary contributions of Dy3+ ions on the mechanical and radiation resistance properties of oxyfluoroborotellurite Dyx-glasses
