초록

The search for materials that serve as good shields for radiation has become very important in light of the increasing exposure to ionizing radiation in various vital sectors. The aim is to search for novel materials with better radiation shielding properties that are stable, nontoxic, and abundant and environment friendly. The solidstate reaction approach has been used to synthesize a few ceramics, including BaZrXTi1-XO3, Ba1-XLaXTiO3 and Ba1-XLaXZrXTi1-XO3 (with x = 0.10) i.eBaZr0.10Ti0.90O3 (BZT), Ba0.90La0.10TiO3 (BLT), and Ba0.90La0.10Zr0.10Ti0.90O3 (BLZT). The density of the prepared samples varies from 6.3471 to 11.6003 g/cm3. The X-ray diffraction technique, shows strong peaks to confirm the crystalline structure of prepared ceramic samples. Using the G-P fitting approach, the advanced radiation shielding parameters (build-up factor) have been evaluated in the photon energy region of 1.5 keV–15 MeV. It is observed from the results that exposure buildup factor (EBF) and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) are maximum for BLZT and has the minimum value for BZT in the entire photon energy regime. The results of this work should be useful in radiation shielding applications such as in industry, medicine, and nuclear engineering.

Abstract

The search for materials that serve as good shields for radiation has become very important in light of the increasing exposure to ionizing radiation in various vital sectors. The aim is to search for novel materials with better radiation shielding properties that are stable, nontoxic, and abundant and environment friendly. The solidstate reaction approach has been used to synthesize a few ceramics, including BaZrXTi1-XO3, Ba1-XLaXTiO3 and Ba1-XLaXZrXTi1-XO3 (with x = 0.10) i.eBaZr0.10Ti0.90O3 (BZT), Ba0.90La0.10TiO3 (BLT), and Ba0.90La0.10Zr0.10Ti0.90O3 (BLZT). The density of the prepared samples varies from 6.3471 to 11.6003 g/cm3. The X-ray diffraction technique, shows strong peaks to confirm the crystalline structure of prepared ceramic samples. Using the G-P fitting approach, the advanced radiation shielding parameters (build-up factor) have been evaluated in the photon energy region of 1.5 keV–15 MeV. It is observed from the results that exposure buildup factor (EBF) and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) are maximum for BLZT and has the minimum value for BZT in the entire photon energy regime.
