Background: Ionizing radiation is known to be harmful to human health. The shielding of ionizing radiation depends on the attenuation which can be achieved by three main rules, i.e. time, distance and absorbing material. Materials and Methods: The mass attenuation coefficient, linear attenuation coefficient, Half Value Layer (HVL) and Tenth Value Layer (TVL) of X-rays (32 keV, 74 keV) and gamma rays (662 keV) are measured in Barium compounds. Results and Discussion: The measured values agree well with the theory. The effective atomic numbers ($Z_{eff}$) and electron density (Ne) of Barium compounds have been computed in the wide energy region 1 keV to 100 GeV using an accurate database of photon-interaction cross sections and the WinXCom program. Conclusion: The mass attenuation coefficient and linear attenuation coefficient for $BaCO_3$ is higher than the $BaCl_2$, $Ba(No_3)_2$ and BaSO4. HVL, TVL and mean free path are lower for $BaCO_3$ than the $BaCl_2$, $Ba(No_3)_2$ and $BaSO_4$. Among the studied barium compounds, $BaCO_3$ is best material for x-ray and gamma shielding.

The M-type barium ferrite ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$) is well known magnetic material to be used as a permanent magnet due to its strong uniaxial anisotropy. The substitution of nonmagnetic $Ti^{+4}$ and magnetically weak $Co+^2ion for Fe^{+3}$ to its strong uniaxial anisotropy. The substitution of nonmagnetic $Ti^{+4}$ and magnetically weak $Co+^2ion for Fe^{+3}$ sublattices reduces the uniaxial anisotropy and those compounds open a new application field of noise suppressor at high frequencies. In this study, the magnetic and microwave absorbing properties are investigated in Ti-and Co-substituted barium ferrites ($BaFe_{12-2X} Ti_XCo_XO_{19}$). The saturated magnetization decreases linearly with the substitution of Ti and Co. The rapid drop in coercive force is observed with Ti and Co substitution upto x=1.2. The magnetic permeability spectrum shows the natural magnetic resonance in the specimens with small coercive force and large attenuation of microwave is predicted in those specimens at high frequencies (above 4 GHz).

The current work aims to fabricate metal oxide-doped (PbO, Fe₂O₃, MgO, and Al₂O₃, each of which boasts a purity of 99%) zinc barium borate glasses through the melt quenching technique at the 1000 ℃ melting temperature. The results showed that adding 5 mol.% of metal oxides PbO, Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, and MgO increases the density of the zinc barium borate glasses. Additionally, the fabricated glasses' mechanical properties were determined based on the Makishima-Mackenzie model, which proved that the highest mechanical properties were achieved for glasses doped with Al₂O₃ compounds. The mechanical moduli for the glasses doped with Al₂O₃ reach 80.95 GPa (Young), 59.90 GPa (bulk), 31.75 GPa (shear), and 102.23 GPa (longitudinal). Additionally, the Al₂O₃-doped glasses' microhardness reaches 4.77 GPa. Moreover, estimation of the fabricated glasses' gamma-ray shielding capacity utilized Monte Carlo simulation. The highest linear attenuation coefficients are 29.132, 19.906, 19.243, and 18.923 cm^-1 obtained at 0.033 MeV for glasses dopped by PbO, Fe₂O₃, MgO, and Al₂O₃, respectively. Therefore, glasses doped with 5 mol.% of PbO have high gamma-ray shielding capacities followed by glasses doped by Fe₂O₃.

This study is devoted to the ability of carbon fiber material samples impregnated with various amounts of barium iodide and triethylenediamine to remove radioactive methyliodide from air streams. The main sorption characteristics of impregnated UVIS® carbon fiber were determined and the use of this material for purifying of technological gas flows at nuclear power plants was evaluated. The methyliodide trapping efficiency by samples impregnated with barium iodide, TEDA, and their mixture was 83.4 ± 0.8%; 93.1 ± 0.6% and 93.5 ± 0.7% respectively, under the same conditions. The study established a significantly higher capacity (8.3 ± 0.07 mg/cm²) of samples impregnated simultaneously with both chemical compounds toward methyliodide. Under the same test conditions, the values of this parameter for the samples impregnated separately with TEDA and BaI₂ were 2.85 ± 0.05 mg/cm² and 0.86 ± 0.04 mg/cm², respectively.

본 연구에서는 기존의 납을 대체할 수 있는 의료 방사선 차폐제품 적용을 위해 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 바륨화합물의 두께별 차폐능을 모의 추정하였다. 차폐재 물질로는 황산바륨($BaSO_4$)을 이용하였고, 시편의 면적은 $15{\times}15cm^2$, 황산바륨의 밀도는 $4.5g/cm^3$, 납의 밀도 $11.34g/cm^3$를 적용하여 차폐재 시편의 두께를 0.1 mm부터 5 mm까지 시뮬레이션 하였다. 입력 선원은 연속 X-ray 에너지 스펙트럼(40 kVp ~ 120 kVp)에서 10kVp Step으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 40 kVp ~ 60 kVp에서의 흡수확률은 3 mm ~ 5 mm 두께에서는 납과 동일한 차폐능을 나타내었으나, 2 mm 이하에서는 차폐능이 기존 납 차폐재에 비해 다소 차폐능이 떨어지는 결과로 나타났다. 또한 70 kVp ~ 120 kVp 에너지 대역에서의 차폐능은 기존 납 차폐재와 유사한 성능을 보였지만, 0.5 mm 이하에서는 다소 낮은 차폐능으로 모의 추정되었다. 본 연구는 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 의료용 엑스선 에너지 대역에 대한 두께 함수로써 바륨화합물의 차폐능을 추정하여 기존의 납과 비교 분석하였다. 또한 순수한 황산바륨의 의료용 방사선 차폐제품 적용가능성을 검증하고자 하였다. 그 결과 의료 방사선 에너지 대역 70 kVp ~ 120 kVp 에서 최소 2 mm 이상의 바륨화합물 두께에서 기존 납 1.5 mm 대비 95% 이상의 차폐효과가 있는 것으로 추정되었으며, 본 결과는 의료용 방사선 차폐제품의 경량화 제작에 기초 자료로 제공될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Cluster systems are microcrystals of vanadiumoxided compounds such as Barium, Calcium or Sodium Metavanadates or Sodium Vanadium Bronze which are distributed into dimethyl- or diethylphosphites or microcrystals of vanadium oxides, for instance, vanadium oxide (+3), distributed into the methylphosphonic acid melted. During the interaction of vanadium compounds with the correspondent phosphororganic substances biue viscous liquids are formed. These liquids have paramagnetic properties. According to the UV and IR spectroscopic investigations as well as the results of EPR spectra the substances obtained consist of the nucleus containing 6 to 12 of vanadium atoms and the shell including ligands which are molecules of phosphites or methylphosphonic acid. Here every atom of vanadium interacts with four of phosphorus containing molecules. Sizes of the particles in these systems donot exceed 200 nm. Introduction of cluster systems (0,1 -0,3 % vanadium) into epoxy compositions before the introduction of curing agent - polyethylenepolyamine 6 -8 % leads to the acceleration of composition crosslinking and to the combustion decreasing: 1) Oxygen Index grows to 35: 2)mass losses during combustion decrease to 1-2%, 3) combustion time does not exceed 1 s; 4) the intumescence of material sample is being observed during the burner action as well as the foam coke formation.

Effects of hydrogenation in amorphous silicon rile growths on Solid Phase Crystallization (SPC) was investigated using x-ray diffractometry, energy dispersive Spectroscopy, and Raman spectrum. Interdiffusion of barium(Ba) and aluminum(Al) compounds of corning substrate was observed in both of rf sputtering and LFCVD films under the low temperature(580$^{\circ}C$) annealing. Low degree of crystallinity resulted from the interdiffusion was obtained. Highly applicable degree of crystallinity was obtained through the mechanical damage induced surface activation on amorphous silicon films. X-ray diffraction intensity of (111) orientation was used to characterize the degree of crystallinity of SPC. Nucleation and growth rate in SPC could be controllable through the employed surface treatment. IIydrogenated LPCVD films showed the superior crystallinity to non-hydrogenated sputtering films. Insignificant effects of activation treatment in sputtered film was of activation treatment in sputtered film was observed on SPC.

Solid solutions between $BaTiO_3$ and $LaFeO_3$ have been prepared through a solid state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction results reveal that $Ba_{1-x}La_xTi_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ ($0.1\;{\leq}\;x\;{\leq}\;0.7$) compounds have a cubic structure, whereas the parent material $BaTiO_3$ has a tetragonal structure. The magnetization measurements indicate that the materials have a magnetic ordering at room temperature and the magnetic properties of the solid solutions depending on the doping amount of $LaFeO_3$. The origin of magnetic behaviors is believed to be from $Fe^{3+}$ ions.

기존의 침상형 매체와는 다르게 자기기록용 치환형 Ba-ferrite(BaM) tape의 보자력은 입자특성, 치환이온의 종류 및 tape 제조조건에 따라 분말의 보자력보다 50 Oe에서 600 Oe로 높게 나타났다. 이 보자력 증가는 육각판상 입자간 stacking 효과와 분말표면에 유기용제 흡착효과에 기인하였다. 동일한 입자크기와 판상비를 갖지만 치환이온이 다른 BaM 분말을 사용한 수평배향된 tape의 경우 입자간 stacking 효과에 의한 보자력 증가는 100 Oe에서 120 Oe 사이로 일정하여 치환이온의 종류에 무관하였다. 치환형 BaM 분말표면에 유기용제 흡착은 활성화 흡착과정에 의해 이루어졌으며, 유기용제 흡착에 의한 보자력 증가는 Co 이온이 함유된 BaM tape에서만 나타났다. Co-Ti 치환된 BaM의 경우 tape 제조시 사용된 유기용제 MEK(methyl ethyl ketone), TOL(toluene) 및 CHO (cyclohexanone) 중에서 CHO가 보자력 증가에 가장 크게 기여하였다.
