Özet:

 In this study, the interaction of ZK60-based composite materials with gamma rays was investigated using the Phy-xPSD software. To understand the photon interaction with these composite materials, fundamental parameters including MFP mean free path, Zeff effective atomic number, HVL half-value layer, LAC linear attenuation coefficient, effective electron density Neff, MAC mass attenuation coefficient, and tenth-value layer TVL were theoretically calculated for the energy range of 0.001 MeV to 10 MeV. The outcomes showed that rising the BaSO₄ content in Mg-based composite materials led to a decline in HVL, MFP, and TVL values. Especially in the low-energy range, HVL values varied between 4.386 cm-2.456 cm, TVL values between 14.570 cm-8.158 cm, and MFP values between 6.328 cm-3.543 cm. Conversely, an increase in BaSO₄ content caused an increase in LAC and MAC values. Because of the high atomic number Z and of barium, 50BaSO₄ showed the highest Zeff and Neff values, 17.54 for Zeff and 9.35  10²³ electronsg for Neff.
