“…Yılmaz and Kılıç (2019) studied the albedo factors, which symbolize the radiation reflectivity of the materials by using cream marble, which is one of the eastern Taurus marble varieties, pink marble consisting of sedimentary limestone, white marble, claret red marble, and green marble materials. Akkuş and Yılmaz (2019) determined the albedo parameters of different samples in the mean atomic number range 9.743≤ Z≤83.00 measured for 662 keV gamma rays by using an HPGe detector at a 180° scattering angle. Yılmaz et al (2020) measured the albedo number, albedo number, and albedo energies experimentally for undoped VOx thin films and VOx thin films doped with selenium, boric acid, ammonium borate, and dimethyl borane complexes.…”

In this study, the albedo parameters are known as the reflectance capacity of the electromagnetic radiation falling on the target samples; the surface's reflectivity was investigated. For this purpose, in the experimental setup, 241Am as a radioactive source and a semiconductor detector were used to count the scattered photons due to reflecting the gamma rays radiating from the source. The data obtained from the experiment were plotted depending on the atomic number of the target samples. It is understood from this study that the albedo factor parameters of the target samples selected for research decrease with increasing average atomic number.
