Abstract
Abstract The investigation on the radiation shielding properties of BaTiO3-xBi2O3 with (x=0, 2, 4, 6, 8 %) ceramic samples has been discussed in this paper. This study targeted especially on the radiation shielding properties such as tenth value layer (TVL) and effective electron density (Neff) by including density of sample as one of the parameters. The prepared ceramic samples radiation shielding properties were quantified with help of radioactive sources Ba133, Na22, Cs137, and Co60 at the energies 356keV, 511keV, 1173keV, 1275keV and 1333keV. The obtained experimental values compared with theoretical values by using Phy-X/PSD software. Obtained results revealed that, attenuation abilities improved due to addition of Bi2O3 at different concentration to BaTiO3 causes the rise in density of ceramic samples from 5.483 to 5.498g/cm3. S1 sample has maximum TVL value found at 10.098cm and sample S4 noticed with lowest value 9.842cm at 1333keV. The maximum Neff value recorded as 2.72 at 1333keV for sample S4 which indicating promising radiation shielding abilities.
