Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the analysis of the radiation permeability and radiation resistance of glass, alloy and similar materials used in electronic and optical applications has attracted great attention from researchers. The main reason for this interest is that these materials are used in applications and usage conditions where they may interact with radiation. This circumstance provided a significant motivation for us to publish this Special Issue, examining the radiation uses of materials and processes with promise for electronic applications in a broad range of development areas. The scope of the Issue is the development and application of theoretical, computational and experimental physics to medicine, physiology and biology. The Issue covers all fields for the peaceful utilization of radiation and nuclear energy as follows: 

  • Materials science;
  • Bioactive materials;
  • Radiation dosimetry;
  • Radiation protection;
  • Radiation application;
  • Nuclear safety;
  • Nanoparticles in imaging and therapy;
  • Therapy physics including ionizing and non-ionizing radiation;
  • Radiobiology;
  • Experimental and computational ionizing and non-ionizing dosimetry including instrumentation and algorithm development;
  • Biomedical engineering;
  • Radiation and system biology;
  • Artificial intelligence in medical physics.

We present elastic moduli, gamma radiation attenuation characteristics, and transmission factor of barium–tungstate–phosphate (BTP) glasses with the chemical formula (60-y)BaO-yWO3-40P2O5, where y = 10 (S1)–40 (S4) in steps of 10 mole%. Different types of mathematical and simulation approaches, such as the Makishima-Mackenzie model, the Monte Carlo method, and the online Phy-X/PSD software, are utilized in terms of determining these parameters. The total packing density (Vt) is enriched from 0.607 to 0.627, while the total energy dissociation (Gt) is enriched by increasing the WO3 content (from 52.2 (kJ/cm3). In the investigated glasses, increasing tungstate trioxide (WO3) contribution enhanced Young’s, shear, bulk, and longitudinal moduli. Moreover, Poisson’s ratio is improved by increasing the WO3 content in the BTP glasses. The 20BaO-40WO3-40P2O5 sample possessed the highest values of both linear (µ) and mass attenuation (µm) coefficients, i.e., (µ, µm)S4 > (µ, µm)S3 > (µ, µm)S2 > (µ, µm)S1. Moreover, the 20BaO-40WO3-40P2O5 sample had the lowest values of half (HVL) and tenth (TVL) layers, i.e., (half, tenth)S4 < (half, tenth)S3 < (half, tenth)S2 < (half, tenth)S1. The effective atomic number (Zeff) of the studied glasses has the same behavior as µ and µm. Finally, the 20BaO-40WO3-40P2O5 is reported with the minimum values of transmission factor (TF) for all the BTP investigated at a thickness of 3 cm. In conclusion, the sample with composition 20BaO-40WO3-40P2O5 which has the maximum WO3 reinforcement may be a beneficial glass sample, along with its advanced mechanical and gamma ray shielding properties.

The effects of poly (vinylidene fluoride, PVDF) on barium zirconate titanate nanoparticles has been studied. Different concentrations of (BZT-PVDF) nanocomposites using the formula [x (PVDF)/(1 − x) BZT] (where x = zero, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1) were prepared using the hot pressing method. The BZT nanoparticle was prepared using the tartrate precursor route method. The Dc resistivity as a function of reciprocal temperature (1000/T) K−1 for the composite samples has been studied. The dielectric constant (ε) increases with the amount of BZT, which can be described as the increase of interfacial space charge polarization between (PVDF-BZT) nano-composites and the increase in the ionic mobility of the polymer. The ferroelectric hysteresis of prepared nano-composites has been investigated. The increase of BZT content raises the slope of the hysteresis loop and hence the dielectric polarization, which may be attributed to the dominance of smaller grain size and tetragonality. The increasing in dielectric properties for the prepared samples is very useful in industrial applications, such as sensors, actuators and transducers. Full article
