The synthesised samples were characterised with various techniques. The cubic structure with Fd-3\u00a0m space group is confirmed by Powder X-ray Diffraction and Bragg\u2019s reflection. The crystallite size estimated from Scherrer\u2019s method was found to be 40\u00a0nm. The agglomerated irregular shape and sized surface morphology was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy image. The direct energy band gap determined from Wood and Tauc\u2019s relation was found to be 5.25\u00a0eV. Using a NaI (Tl) detector and multi-channel analyser, the described sample was examined for X-ray and gamma ray shielding characteristics in the energy range of 0.081\u20131.332\u00a0MeV. The measured shielding values are in good agreement with the theory, however below 356\u00a0keV, there is a little variation of up to 10%. The current work offers up new possibilities for using this simple, affordable, effective and low temperature approach to create nanomaterials for X-ray and gamma ray shielding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncad224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,21]],"date-time":"2023-12-21T13:31:20Z","timestamp":1703165480000},"page":"2506-2512","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["X-ray\/gamma radiation shielding properties of zinc ferrite nanoparticles synthesised via solution combustion method"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"199","author":[{"given":"Byra R C","family":"Reddy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Presidency University Department of Physics, , Bengaluru 560064, Karnataka, India"},{"name":"Government First Grade College Department of Physics, , Srinivasapur 563135, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3285-6308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Holaly C S","family":"Manjunatha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College for Women Department of Physics, , Kolar 563101, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7794-4064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yalekadakalu S","family":"Vidya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lal Bahadur Shastri Government First Grade College Department of Physics, , RT Nagar, Bangalore 560032, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K N","family":"Sridhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government First Grade College Department of Physics, , Kolar 563101, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lakshmaiah","family":"Seenappa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College for Women Department of Physics, , Kolar 563101, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shivanna","family":"Manjunatha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"B.M.S.
