Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study, nuclear radiation shielding features of AlSiO(OH)–KAlSiO–SiO ceramic systems were explored by depending on cobalt (Co) insertion ratio (0, 5, 10, 20, 30 wt%). For this aim, five ceramic samples were produced and their elemental compositions were obtained with SEM-EDX analysis. Then, transmission measurements were achieved by using an ultra Ge detector and photons with 0.081–0.383 keV energy ranges. From the evaluated transmission spectra, mass attenuation coefficient (μ) values of five ceramics were obtained experimentally and compared with theoretical results. According to the outcomes, the increment of the Co insertion rises the μ values, whereas the half-value layer (HVL) value declines. It is also observed that effective atomic number (Z) values are raised, while effective electron density (N) is declined as Co additive increases in the ceramic sample. The geometric progression (GP) approach was utilized to estimate the energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) and exposure buildup factor (EBF) for the produced ceramic samples. EABFs and EBFs were obtained to be the smallest for 30% doped S5 sample according to the other ceramic samples. Lastly, the neutron attenuation ability of the ceramic samples was interpreted by finding the effective neutron cross sections (Σ). It is noticed that the Σ values are almost similar for all of the ceramics. As a result, the S5 sample is a skilled nominee for photon and neutron protection applications among the fabricated ceramic samples. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
