This study investigates γ-ray shielding properties of Ni–Ti–Hf shape memory alloys under uniaxial tension, correlating their mechanical properties with linear attenuation coefficients (LAC). We evaluated LAC (cm –1 ) values across various photon energies ( E (MeV)), Ti:Hf ratio and APF, revealing an...
