Radiation Shielding Materials Analysis
Radiation Shielding Materials Analysis is a research topic within Materials Chemistry. Science Explorer counts 7.3k research works in it since 1950. 16.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the development and characterization of materials and techniques for shielding against radiation, including gamma rays, X-rays, and neutrons. It covers topics such as attenuation coefficients, mass attenuation, effective atomic numbers, and the use of borate glasses and polymer composites for radiation shielding. The cluster also explores the application of Monte Carlo simulations in evaluating radiation shielding properties.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
