Abstract :

Ni–Mn Ferrites Have Attracted Significant Attention Due To Their Versatile Electrical, Magnetic, And Radiation Interaction Properties, Making Them Suitable For Multifunctional Engineering Applications. The Present Study Investigates The Effect Of Atomic Number On Photon Interaction Parameters Of Ni–Mn Ferrite Systems, With A Primary Focus On Mass Attenuation Coefficient And Related Shielding Characteristics. Ferrite Samples With Varying Ni/Mn Compositional Ratios Were Analyzed Over A Wide Photon Energy Range To Evaluate The Influence Of Effective Atomic Number On Radiation Attenuation Behavior. The Mass Attenuation Coefficients Were Determined Theoretically Using Standard Photon Interaction Databases And Correlated With Experimental Trends. Results Indicate That Variations In Atomic Number Significantly Affect Photon Absorption, Especially In Low- And Medium-energy Regions Where Photoelectric And Compton Scattering Mechanisms Dominate. Higher Effective Atomic Numbers Exhibited Improved Attenuation Efficiency, Demonstrating Enhanced Radiation Shielding Potential. The Findings Highlight The Suitability Of Ni–Mn Ferrites As Lightweight And Cost-effective Materials For Radiation Protection, Sensors, And Electronic Applications, Providing Valuable Insights Into Composition-dependent Photon Interaction Behavior.
