Radiation shielding features for various tellurium-based alloys: a comparative study

We investigate the radiation shielding properties for four Te-based alloys. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed pure phases in all studied samples; however, a secondary phase is detected in the CrTe sample in good agreement with the literature. All samples’ densities were measured using the Archimed...

Zusammenfassung:We investigate the radiation shielding properties for four Te-based alloys. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed pure phases in all studied samples; however, a secondary phase is detected in the CrTe sample in good agreement with the literature. All samples’ densities were measured using the Archimedes principle. The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) was calculated using Geant4 MC Toolkit and then compared with the XCOM data. Many photon-shielding properties were computed for all investigated samples based on the MAC. The Phy-X and SRIM were used to determine the fast neutron removal cross-section (Σ R ) and projected range, respectively. As a result, PbTe shows superior shielding features compared to the rest of the investigated samples to use this sample in different shielding applications.
