Dosimetric properties of europium, gadolinium and cerium borosilicate glasses in application of electron beam dose measurements

Versatility of thermoluminescence materials and radiation dosimetry – A review

“…Borosilicate glass (SiO 2 –B 2 O 3 –Al 2 O 3 –CaO–Na 2 O type) doped with Eu 2 O 3 , Gd 2 O 3 and CeO 2 rare earth oxides have been studied previously for their dosimetric properties . The glass was synthesized using the melt quenching technique and rare earth metals were doped in the concentration range 0.5−1.5%.…”

Gd3+-doped sol-gel silica glass for remote ionizing radiation dosimetry

“…In fact, due to the optical activity in the UV domain, the incorporation of Gd 3+ ions inside oxide glasses leads to efficient scintillator and phosphor materials [10,11]. However, in most of the investigated glasses, the Gd 3+ ions have mainly been used as sensitizers for other rare-earth ions to enhance their luminescence [12][13][14][15][16]. This mostly concerned multicomponent glasses, which contain glass modifier elements, such as aluminum, that could decrease the glass resistance to radiations [17].…”

Use of Terbium Doped Phosphate Glasses for High Dose Radiation Dosimetry—Thermoluminescence Characteristics, Dose Response and Optimization of Readout Method

“…For TL dosimeters based on crystalline systems, one can observe an increased light-scattering efficiency, due to their limited transparency. A reasonably good alternative for these phosphors might be found among dosimetric systems based on glasses, for example, borosilicate glasses [20]. One such example is zinc-lithium-borate glass doped with terbium.…”
