Thermoluminescence response induced by UV radiation in Eu-doped zirconia nanopowders

Investigation of a thermoluminescence response and trapping parameters and theoretical model to explain concentration quenching for $$\hbox {Yb}^{3+}$$-doped $$\hbox {ZrO}_{{2}}$$ phosphors under UV exposure

“…The Petri dish was taken out from the furnace and a foamy product was crushed into fine powder using a pestle and mortar for 30 min. These powders were calcined at 600-900 • C for 1 h, and then subjected to further structural, morphological and luminescence studies [10][11][12].…”

Luminescence properties of 100 MeV swift Si7+ ions irradiated nanocrystalline zirconium oxide

“…The variation of TL glow peak intensity with Si 7+ ion fluence and TL glow peak temperature are shown in Figure 6(b). It is observed that, at lower fluence up to 3×10 10 ions cm -2 , TL glow curves exhibits only two peaks (418 and 502 K) with further increase in ion fluence an additional TL glow peak is appeared at ~455 K. Villa sanchez et al, recently reported the TL glow curves of pure and Eu doped ZrO 2 for UV irradiation, pure sample which exhibits a broad TL glow peak centered at 413 K and a weak glow peak at 503 K. These peaks are ascribed to trapping center formed by Zr ion and the defect complex formed from an oxygen vacancy and an anion [32]. TL peak (T m1 ) intensity at 418 K increases with increasing ion fluence up to 3×10 11 ions cm -2 .…”

Electronic structure and defect‐induced luminescence study of phase‐stabilized t‐ZrO2 nanocrystals

“…TL is used to investigate the trapping states present in samples both qualitatively and quantitatively [25][26][27]. The TL glow curves for zirconia, synthesized in different phases and using different ionizing radiations, have been reported by many researchers [28][29][30][31][32]. The monoclinic phase shows low-temperature glow peaks with high intensity but suffers a critical disadvantage of fading, limiting its use in radiation dosimetry [33].…”
