In this research, the gamma ray protective properties of iron-doped nano-hydroxides were evaluated by calculating effective quantities such as the half-value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), mass attenuation coefficient (𝜇m) and linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) in the range of 0.015 to 15 MeV using the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation tool. To investigate the quantitative difference between the mass attenuation coefficient of nano-materials and normal materials, the simulation results were compared with data extracted from the NIST-XCOM database, which can only calculate the mass attenuation coefficient of normal materials. In this comparison, it was observed that the data extracted from the database and the results of the Geant4 simulation tool differed as the concentration of iron contamination increased. The percentage of deviation (RD) between the data extracted from the database and the results of the Geant4 simulation tool increased from 0.1 to 3.2%. This deviation was attributed the increase in the concentration of nano-iron contamination in the composition. Therefore, the nano-hydroxide composition with the highest percentage of iron contamination (Fe-HAp-48) had the most favorable protective composition in terms of density compared to other selected protective materials. This composition, which is lightweight and antibacterial, provides effective protection against gamma rays in the specified energy range.
