Thermally stimulated luminescence studies for dysprosium doped strontium tetraborate

Determination of trapping parameters of dosimetric thermoluminescent glow peak of lithium triborate (LiB3O5) activated by aluminum

“…Therefore, it is particularly suited for applications in radiation dosimetry, especially radiation therapy and clinical applications. Therefore, the TL studies of lithium borate compounds were started in 1967 by the work of Schulman et al [2] and then, detailed TL studies on various alkali and alkaline earth tetra borates, especially on the lithium and magnesium borate compounds, were started and are continuing [3][4][5]. Recently, Prokic reported that the sintered Li 2 B 4 O 7 doped with several impurities such as Cu, In; Cu, In, Ag; and Mg, Cu, P gives better dosimeter characteristics than others [1].…”

Thermoluminescence characteristics of rare-earth-doped LiCaBO3 phosphor

“…Up to now, lots of investigations on the TL characteristics of borate compounds have been carried out, e.g., un-doped and Ce-doped BaB 4 O 7 [2], Tb 3+ -doped Ba 2 Ca(BO 3 ) 2 [3], un-doped and Cu-and Mn-doped K 2 B 4 O 7 [4], MgB 4 O 7 :Dy,Na [5], SrB 4 O 7 :Dy [6], rare-earth-doped Sr 2 Mg(BO 3 ) 2 [7], Li 2 B 4 O 7 :Cu,In [8,9] and BaB 4 O 7 : Dy [10]. Although not all of these materials can be utilized in practice, at least the results obtained provide useful information concerning the defects and trap structure that are helpful in the search for new borate TLD materials.…”

Characterisation and luminescence studies of Tm and Na doped magnesium borate phosphors

“…REE doping is particularly well-suited for the investigation of luminescence properties. Borate-based materials activated with various rare earth (Eu, Dy, Tm, or alkali metals Na, Li) have been widely investigated by many authors in the quest of efficient optoelectronic or dosimetric materials (Türkler Ege et al, 2007;Kawashima et al, 2014;Yukihara et al, 2014;Li et al, 2005;Fukudaan and Takeuchi, 1989).…”
