Abstract

In this paper, the effective atomic numbers and electron densities representing interaction of gamma rays with oxides of lanthanides have been studied. The effective atomic numbers for photon energy-absorption (Z_PEAeff) and photon interaction (Z_PIeff), and relative to air Z_Reff, the effective electron densities for photon energy-absorption (N_PEAeff) and photon interaction (N_PIeff) were calculated using the values of the mass attenuation and energy absorption coefficients. The variation of Z_PEAeff, Z_PIeff, Z_Reff, N_PEAeff and N_PIeff with energy were shown graphically. In the continuous energy region, it was observed that there are agreements and disagreements between photon interaction and photon energy-absorption for effective atomic numbers and electron densities of compounds in different energy regions. In addition, absorption edge effects on effective atomic numbers leading more than a single value of effective atomic number at a specific energy have been discussed for the given compounds. Comparisons with experiments wherever possible have been carried out for calculated values of Z_eff and N_eff.
