Multi-analytical characterization and radiation shielding assessment of natural ophiolitic rocks: a combined experimental, mineralogical, and simulation analysis

Abstract Ophiolitic suites derived from oceanic crust are rich in ferromagnesian and mafic minerals and exhibit relatively high densities, making them promising and economical materials for radiation shielding. This study evaluates ophiolitic rocks exposed along the Marsa Alam–Id...
