A simple method for preparing LiCaAlF6:Eu2+ phosphor is reported. Photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL) studies were carried out. The TL sensitivity of the phosphor is nearly twice that of CaSO4:Dy TLD phosphor. Several other properties required for TL dosimetry are superior as well. It is suggested that the phosphor can be a suitable replacement for CaSO4:Dy. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The present paper reports the combustion synthesis of LiMgBO3 and LiSrBO3 phosphor by various dopants Ce Cu, Eu, Dy and Mn and study their TL glow curve for TL dosimetry. During the combustion synthesis we have synthesized LiMgBO3 and LiSrBO3 phosphor by using various activators Ce, Cu, Eu, Dy and Mn so as to explore the possible compound for TL glow curve analysis and their application for TL dosimetry. The combustion synthesis method is very simple and time saving method. This work deals with detail procedure for synthesis LiMgBO3 and LiSrBO3 phosphor by various dopants Ce Cu, Eu, Dy and Mn and study of their TL glow curve analysis and luminescent characteristics for TL dosimetry.
