Evaluation of SrAl₂O₄:Eu, Dy phosphor for potential applications in thermoluminescent dosimetry

Abstract

To evaluate the use of commercial-grade strontium aluminate phosphorescent powder as a thermoluminescent (TL) dosimeter for clinical radiotherapy beams.Materials and Method: Commercially available Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ co-doped strontium aluminate powder (SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu, Dy) was annealed and then irradiated using

Elucidation of trap energies of Gamma-irradiated BaMgAl10O17: Ce3+ phosphors for dosimetry applications

“…Aluminates are being considered for their potential application in LEDs and dosimeters due to their exceptional thermal and chemical stability, long afterglow, high quantum efficiency, and tunable emission properties [18][19][20]. These materials also have applications in various fields, including lamps [21], TLDs [22,23], scintillators [24,25], field emission, and plasma display panels [26].…”

Development of Mechanically Reliable and Transparent Photochromic Film Using Solution Blowing Spinning Technology for Anti-Counterfeiting Applications

“…RESA has been employed in a variety of commodities, such as switches, safety marks, luminous ornamental articles, decorations, and directional signs. This can be attributed to its photostability, durability, and long-persistent luminescence. − There are a variety of known rare-earth doped phosphors with the ability to emit the different primary colors, such as Y 2 O 2 S:Eu 3+ , Mg 2+ , Ti 4+ and CaS:Eu 2+ , Tm 3+ , Ce 3+ for red emissions, MgAl 2 O 4 :Mn 2+ and SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ for green emissions, and CaMgSi 2 O 6 :Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ and CaAl 2 O 4 :Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ for blue emissions . However, it proved to be one of the best long-lasting phosphors due to its distinctive brightness, nontoxicity, non-radioactivity, thermal and photostability, long-persistence time (>10 h), recyclability, and resistance to chemicals.…”
