Simulation of Neutrons Shielding Properties for Some Medical Materials

Abstract

Radiation is used different field and among others neutron is the one of the most hazardous particle as it is neutral and heavy. Its neutral characteristics make it more difficult particle to be shielded. In this study neutron shielding properties for some medical interested materials of water, fat and bone have been obtained using Phy-X/PSD software.

Comparative analysis on application conditions of indium (III) oxide-reinforced glasses in nuclear waste management and source transportation: A Monte Carlo simulation study

“…The mechanism of radiation-interaction with matter and the investigation of this process within a group of parameters are the most crucial methodological principles of radiation shielding practices and radiation protection investigations [ [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] ]. On the other hand, the destructive effects of ionizing radiation sources on living biological tissue are proportional to the rate at which these radiation sources ionize the air and, therefore, the quantity of energy absorbed by the air from the source [ 40 ].…”

Assessment of Gamma Ray Shielding Properties for Skin

“…The conventional shielding materials for several years are lead, tungsten, and other heavy elements. Besides these materials which have a high absorption rate, researcher developed new alternative materials due to negative aspect of this conventional materials [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. In order to obtain cell from harmful radiation effect, the shielding character of the skin itself should be known.…”

Examining the HAP+ Fe2O3 Response in the Magnetic Field, Radiation Protection and Mechanical Properties

“…The close resemblance of HAP to bones and teeth makes this material useful as an implant for dental and orthopedic applications [1][2][3]. Because of the HAP's poor mechanical qualities, significant improvements are achieved by adding various dopants like ZnO, ZrO2, Fe3O4, and Li to HAP [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Htun et al [2] discovered that reinforced CaO-ZrO2/HAP is an effective material for improving the strength and toughness of the selected bio-composites.…”
