Abstract |
|
|
| This study focuses on the radiation-shielding characteristics of Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline solar cells.
Mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ) values of the solar cells have been calculated using Win X-Com and GEANT4 code at
various photon energies ranging from 80 to 2614 keV and compared to those of experimental results. The obtained results
exhibited that experimental and calculated are in good agreement at all energies. Some shielding parameters such as
effective atomic number (Zeff), effective electron density (Nel), half value layer (HVL), and mean free path (MFP).
Moreover, macroscopic effective removal cross sections (ΣR) for fast neutrons have been evaluated. It can be concluded
that photovoltaic systems are superior shielding materials for both gamma rays and neutrons. |
