Abstract:
This paper thoroughly examines lanthanum-doped lead titanate (PbLaxTi(1−0.75x)O3), a perovskite-based ceramic material, focusing on its structural properties, vibrational behavior, and radiation shielding capabilities. Using advanced techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we explore the intricate relationship between lanthanum doping levels and material properties. Additionally, we assess its radiation shielding potential through metrics. Computational approaches employing the FLUKA code help evaluate theoretical values. Our findings reveal that increasing lanthanum concentration alters crystal atom arrangement, influences vibrational patterns, and enhances radiation shielding effectiveness. Increasing lanthanum concentration resulted in a maximum 7.55% rise in the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) at 0.059 MeV. The half-value layer (HVL) decreased by 4.68% at 1.33 MeV, and the mean free path (MFP) decreased by 5.78% at 1.41 MeV with increased lanthanum ratio. Moreover, the radiation protection efficiency (RPE) increased from 30.7779 to 32.67442% at 0.059 MeV as lanthanum content increased. These findings offer valuable insights into material characteristics and suggest potential applications in enhancing radiation shielding for medical and industrial purposes. This comprehensive analysis provides practical insights for potential applications, particularly in medical or industrial radiation protection. The data-driven approach here paves the way for future research at the intersection of data science and material science, advancing material design and understanding doped perovskite materials.
