radiation shielding, Magnesium borosilicate glasses, effective atomic numberAbstract
Effective atomic numbers are a term used to understand the interaction of a compound or material with radiation. In particular, this term is often used for materials with complex structures that can be expressed by a single fixed atomic number.
If different elements in a material are present in different concentrations, the effective atomic number of the material can be calculated by considering the contribution of each element. This is a useful method to better understand the response of the material to radiation or the effect of radiation within the material. In particular, when radiation passes through or acts on the material, the effective atomic number plays an important role in determining factors such as the material's radiation exposure properties, absorption or scattering.
Effective atomic numbers are used in radiation interaction analyses in various fields such as materials science, medicine, geophysics and industry. This concept is used to express in a simpler way the radiation properties of compounds in which different elements are combined.
In this study, the effective atomic numbers of magnesium borosilicate glasses were investigated. Such studies are important in the field of materials science and glass technology because the chemical constituents of glass and their interactions play a decisive role in the properties of glass.
Magnesium borosilicate glasses are often used in industrial applications. The properties of these glasses depend on the amount of elements they contain and their chemical structure. Effective atomic numbers can be used to understand the specific properties of a material.
By determining the effective atomic numbers of the elements contained in the glass, this study aims to provide an important basis for understanding the properties of the material, such as radiation exposure, electrical properties or optical properties.
