Abstract:The effect of optical radiation during the phase transition from the amorphous to the crystalline state of matter was investigated for the first time. The results were obtained on nanoscale films of (LiF)x(Li2B4O7)1‐x compositions by sputtering on cold Ni substrates. The starting materials for films were chosen due to their wide use for tissue‐equivalent ionizing radiation dosimetry. It is shown that the detected thermoluminescence effect is sensitive to the thickness of the films. The paper compares the resul… Show more
