Abstract

This study evaluated electron shielding capabilities of various materials using Geant4 Monte Carlo software. By analyzing materials with different atomic numbers, we designed and tested composite films and coatings for radiation protection. Under 1.2 MeV electron irradiation, these materials reduced the dose deposited in electronic components by over 70 %. The fabricated composite films (W–Al) reduced the actual total dose by 100 % with a 30.67 % mass increase, closely matching the simulation result of 75.36 %. The composite coatings (W–Al) reduced the dose by 89.2 % with a 33 % mass increase, matching the simulation result of 70 %. Cascade collision simulations revealed that higher PKA energies lead to longer times to reach the thermal peak, more peak defects, and more stable defect pairs. This is due to the displacement threshold energy of the atoms in aluminum and tungsten. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our composite films and coatings in enhancing electron shielding performance and validate our design methods.
