Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this research was to analyze the theoretical analysis of Sb2S3-PbI2 chalcogenide glasses for their radiation shielding properties in formula (100-x)Sb2S3-xPbI2 where x = 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mol%. The radiation shielding parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient (mm), effective atomic numbers (Zeff), effective electron density (Nel) and kerma relative to air (Ka) value for glass samples were simulated using Phy-X/PSD program at an energy ranging 10–3 ถึง 105 MeV. It has also been studied transmission factor (TF) for the thickness 0.5–3 cm at energy 662 keV. The results exhibited that the mass attenuation coefficient (mm) values of these glass samples increased with increasing of PbI2 concentration. The glass samples with the highest effective atomic numbers (Zeff) values showed the lowest effective electron density (Nel) value and vice versa with increasing PbI2 content. In addition, the kerma relative to air (Ka) values of glass samples tended to like the mass attenuation coefficient. While the transmission factor (TF) was calculated for variation thicknesses at 662 keV and results revealed that TF decreased with increasing thickness of glass samples. These results indicated that the 50Sb2S3-50PbI2 sample was excellent radiation shielding properties
