The thermoluminescence technique was employed to study bioglass matrices prepared using the traditional technique of glass making. The synthesized bioglass matrices were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) has been studied. The highest thermoluminescent intensity was found for the bioglass matric of 26.91% CaO, 46.134% SiO 2 , 2.60% P 2 O 5 , 24.34%Na 2 O (mol%), with only one glow peak at 460 k. The TL response illustrations linearity in high gamma dose range from 25 to 1000 Gy. This new bioglass matric might become useful in high-dose elds for dosimetry.

The present article deals with potassium magnesium borate glass activated with copper that was prepared by a melting quenching technique to study the feasibility of this glass as a radiation dosimeter. The prepared glasses were characterized through X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy and some of the glasses optical and physical parameters have been interpreted. The thermoluminescence properties of the prepared samples were studied, and the results revealed that the potassium magnesium borate doped with 0.07 wt% with copper has the highest thermoluminescent response. The glow curve of potassium magnesium borate doped with 0.07 wt% of copper has seven overlapping peaks with maximum temperatures of 383.09, 400.71, 413.26, 426.59, 445.98, 476.57 and 534.04 K, and the TL-response is linear from 0.11 to 165 Gy. From the present study, the potassium magnesium borate doped with 0.07 mol% from copper may be applicable for measuring the radiation dose.

Nanocrystalline boehmite material was synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Different annealing temperatures have been used to transform boehmite into different alumina phases to study the effect of different phase transitions on the thermoluminescence properties of alumina. XRD analysis was carried out to investigate the crystal structure of the different alumina phases. The thermoluminescence glow curves for different alumina phases showed different structures; however, the sensitivity was almost constant for all the phase transitions of alumina over the applied dose ranging from 0.55 to 330 Gy.
