Mass Attenuation

The effective atomic numbers and electron densities of some synthesized triazoles were determined using the experimental values of total mass attenuation coefficients at 13.93, 17.77, 26.34, and 59.54 keV photon energies. The measurements were performed in a transmission geometry that consists of a Si(Li) detector, an 241Am point source and a target. The measured results were compared with two different theoretical results. The measured results are generally consistent with the theoretical results. It is observed that the measured parameters depend on the photon energy, weighted contributions of the individual atoms within the triazoles, atom number in the triazoles, and chemical composition of triazoles. Also, the effective electron density increases linearly with increasing effective atomic number.

Mass Attenuation

The mass attenuation coefficients for compounds of biomedically important some elements (Na, Mg, Al, Ca, and Fe) have been measured by using an extremely narrow collimated-beam transmission method in the energy 59.5 keV. Total electronic, atomic, and molecular cross sections, effective atomic numbers, and electron densities have been obtained by using these results. Gamma-rays of241Am passed through compounds have been detected by a high-resolution Si(Li) detector and by using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF). Obtained results have been compared with theoretically calculated values of WinXCom and FFAST. The relative difference between the experimental and theoretical values are −9.4% to +11.9% with WinXCom and −11.8% to +11.7% FFAST. Results have been presented and discussed in this paper.

Mass Attenuation

The effective atomic numbers and electron densities for the pure elemental forms of gadolinium (Gd), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), and ytterbium (Yb), and some of their selected complexes, were obtained from the measured total mass attenuation coefficients at 13.92, 17.75, 20.78, 26.34, and 59.54 keV photon energies using a high-resolution Si(Li) detector by adopting transmission geometry. The measured results were compared with two different theoretical results. Within experimental deviations, our data are in good agreement with the theoretical values. The obtained parameters were also interpreted with some selected chemical parameters.

Mass Attenuation

In this work, the mass attenuation coefficients, the effective atomic numbers and the effective electron densities of BaO-Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 glass have been studied at 662 keV using WinXCom program. The result show that the mass attenuation coefficients increased with increasing of BaO concentration, reflecting that more photon is attenuated. The effective atomic numbers and the effective electron densities are similar trend with mass attenuation coefficients, reflecting that more virtual electron when higher BaO concentration and more interaction will be occurred in glass matrices.
