Abstract
Lanthanides, a group of rare earth elements, have attracted considerable attention due to their unique properties and valuable applications. In this study, the albedo parameters of three distinct groups of lanthanide compounds (Cerium, Gadolinium, and Samarium) were investigated using 661.62 keV gamma radiation emitted from a137Cs radioactive source and a high purity germanium detector in backscattering geometry. Additionally, the mass attenuation coefficients of lanthanide compounds were examined in absorption geometry. It was found that Cerium III fluoride, Gadolinium III sulfate, and Samarium III sulfate exhibit the highest albedo numbers among the lanthanide compounds. Furthermore, an exponential relationship between albedo values and mass attenuation coefficients was observed. This study concludes that molecular groups attached to the same atom can influence the photon scattering properties.
期刊介绍：
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
