This research is to study the possibility of fabricated zinc borosilicate glass doped with neodymium trioxide (ZnO-B2O3-SiO2:Nd2O3) to be a new material candidate for TLD. TGA analysis is an analytical technique used to determine a thermal stability of materials and its fraction of volatile components by monitoring rate heat flow to and from a sample and the weight changes, as temperature is changed at a constant rate. Data obtained is used to determine temperature of transitions and melting points of substances. Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) for the glass TLD sample produced obtains are between 369.01 °C - 371.74 °C and maximum annealing and reading temperature are set to be 350 °C that are below the minimum Tg values. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis has proven the samples fabricated are amorphous. Effective atomic numbers (Zeff) are in the range of 20.44-21.60. Glass TLD samples showed good linearity with TL response and faced 45.22%-59.37% fading after 30 days. Glass TLD samples also have been tested for their reproducibility ability for 6 cycles of annealing, irradiate and reading process and the reading showed a small range of different.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
