Screening of ayurvedic nano-medicine (Kasisa bhasma) by NaI(Tl) x-ray detector

Mass Attenuation Coefficient of X-rays have been determined for the ayurvedic Nano-medicine (Kasisa bhasma) of three brands in the X-ray energy range from 17.781 to 44.216 keV by employing good beam transmission geometry using the NaI(Tl) scintillation X-ray detector. The variation in X-ray mass att...

Description
Summary:Mass Attenuation Coefficient of X-rays have been determined for the ayurvedic Nano-medicine (Kasisa bhasma) of three brands in the X-ray energy range from 17.781 to 44.216 keV by employing good beam transmission geometry using the NaI(Tl) scintillation X-ray detector. The variation in X-ray mass attenuation coefficient (decreasing) with incident photon energy (increasing) was noted. And the XRD analysis confirms the crystalline nature of the nano-medicine with particle size ranging from 38.31 nm (for DKB) and 49.86 nm (for VKB) to 52.75 nm (PKB). Also we observed that, as the sample particle size is increased there is increase in value of mass attenuation coefficient of X-ray, this clearly reflects the mass attenuation coefficient values strongly depends on size of particles of the sample.
