    Ferrites are ceramic oxide materials consisting of mainly iron oxide and they have become massively important materials commercially and technologically, having a multitude of uses and applications. The protection against neutron-gamma mixed radiation is crucial in several nuclear applications. From this standpoint, mass attenuation coefficient, radiation protection efficiency and transmission factor of some ferrites namely barium, strontium, manganese, copper and cadmium ferrite has been computed using Geant4 and FLUKA simulations. Based on the simulated mass attenuation coefficient, other significant parameters such as linear attenuation coefficient, effective atomic and electron number, conductivity, half value layer, and mean free path were calculated for the selected ferrite materials. The validation of Monte Carlo geometry has been provided by comparing the mass attenuation coefficient results with standard WinXCom data. Gamma ray exposure buildup factors were computed using geometric progression fitting formula for the chosen ferrites in the energy range 0.015-15 MeV at penetration depths up to 40 mfp. The findings of the present work reveal that among the studied ferrites, barium ferrite and copper ferrite possess superior gamma ray and fast neutron attenuation capability, respectively. The present work provides a comprehensive investigation of the selected iron oxides in the field of neutron and gamma ray.

    Micro Pb filled polymer composites: Theoretical, experimental and simulation results for γ-ray shielding performance
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Kilicoglu, O.; V. More, Chaitali; Akman, F.; Dilsiz, K.; Ogul, H.; Kacal, M. R.; Polat, H.
    Researches on advanced composites to protect environment health towards radioactive pollution have drawn attention with the rising use of radioactive elements. From this point, polymer micro composites are quite encouraging in terms of multifunctional properties in mechanical, electrical, thermal, as well as nuclear shielding. The present study has explored the efficacy of micro lead (Pb) loaded polymer composites for radio protective applications such as a fabrication of protective enclosures. High energetic photon shielding experiments have been applied through gamma spectrometer equipped with HPGe detector and various radioactive point sources namely 137Cs, 22Na, 152Eu, 133Ba, 241Am and 57,60Co which are widely used in several medical and industrial applications. The results demonstrated that mass attenuation coefficients of the composites at different photon energies are proportional to the filler loading. The validation of FLUKA and GEANT4 Monte Carlo software has been performed in the simulation of transmission experiments as well as WinXCOM software. The tests of the Pb (20%) micro composite for the nuclear radiation shielding reveal that it has high attenuation coefficients for photon radiation.
