New Methods Developed for Shielding Material Characterization
− The theory of electromagnetic shielding is based on the waves equations describing the behavior of electromagnetic field in substance and also boundary phenomena by means of Fresnel’s reflection and transmission coefficients. The interaction between electromagnetic radiation and infinite plane shield having finite thickness d, placed in free space in plane waves region depends of material/shi...
متن کاملHigh Performance Lead-free Piezoelectric Material
Lead has recently been expelled from many commercial applications and materials (for example, from solder, glass and pottery glaze) owing to concerns regarding its toxicity. Lead zirconium titanate (PZT) ceramics are highperformance piezoelectric materials, which are widely used in sensors, actuators and other electronic devices; they contain more than 60 weight per cent lead. Although there ha...
متن کاملAn Investigation to Determine an Optimum Protective Garment Material in Nuclear Medicine
Aim: The aim of this study is to find an optimum material to protect garment for protection against 99Tcm radionuclide.Materials and Methods: Monte Carlo simulation code was applied to investigate radiation attenuation of 13 shielding materials including: Ba, gray Sn, white Sn, Sb, Bi, Bi2O3, BaSO4, Sn/W, Sb/W, Pb and W with thicknesses of 0.5 and 1 mm to determine an optimum protective garment...
متن کاملShielding of Gamma Radiation
In the discussion that follows, we assume that gamma rays are the radiation of interest. The principles discussed also apply to monoenergetic x rays; in many cases of concern in x-ray shielding, however, the photons are produced in the bremsstrahlung process that yields a wide and continuous distribution of photon energies. Specialized shielding approaches have been developed to carry out shiel...
متن کاملLarge field-induced strains in a lead-free piezoelectric material.
Piezoelectric materials exhibit a mechanical response to electrical inputs, as well as an electrical response to mechanical inputs, which makes them useful in sensors and actuators. Lead-based piezoelectrics demonstrate a large mechanical response, but they also pose a health risk. The ferroelectric BiFeO(3) is an attractive alternative because it is lead-free, and because strain can stabilize ...
