Comparison of radiation shielding ability of Bi2O3 micro and nanoparticles for radiation shields

Aljawhara H. Almuqrin et al.

Summary: The radiation attenuation ability of Bi2O3 powder in different sizes was investigated. It was found that the linear attenuation coefficient of micro-sized Bi2O3 is higher than that of nano-sized Bi2O3 when they have the same mass, and the difference between the two samples decreases with increasing photon energy. The mass and thickness required to reduce the initial photon intensity by half were also reported.

Summary: In this study, new Cr-based alloys were fabricated using the conventional solid-state reaction method. The gamma ray shielding performance of these alloys was experimentally explored, showing a good agreement between experimental and theoretical data. The radiation protection efficiency of the alloys ranged from 0.184 to 0.81 MeV, with the chemical composition affecting the half value layer (HVL) values. Replacing CrTe alloy with Sb resulted in an increased linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) value.

Summary: This paper experimentally evaluated the radiation shielding properties of ball clays produced with different percentages of micro and nano ZnO. The results showed that ball clay with nano ZnO had a higher linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) and a slightly lower half-value layer (HVL) compared to ball clay with micro ZnO. This suggests that ball clay with nano ZnO is more effective in attenuating radiation in limited spaces.
