Lithium borosilicate glass composite (SiO2–Li2CO3–H3BO3) doped with various concentrations of Sm2O3 (0–0.7 mole %) was prepared using the melt quenching method. The investigated thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of the prepared system revealed that the highest TL response was obtained for this glass composite at 0.05 mol% Sm2O3. In this study, the 0.05 mol% Sm2O3‐doped lithium borosilicate glass composite was subjected to detailed dosimetric investigation in terms of its annealing condition, dose–response, and minimum detectable dose. The reproducibility of the response, thermal characteristics, and optical fading were also studied. The obtained results showed that the prepared glass composite had a linear dose–response over the wide gamma dose range 2Gy to 2 kGy, as well as reasonable thermal fading and excellent reproducibility. These attributes render the composite under investigation promising for utilization in radiation detection.

“…Therefore, these glasses are widely used for optoelectronics [45] and optical lenses applications [46] and also as glass cookware due to low thermal expansion coefficient [47]. The incorporation of rare-earth elements to the glass matrix can induce thermoluminescence effect and produce optical active materials [48]. These dopants act as luminescent centers what enables radiation processes.…”

Different types of ceramics and glass have been extensively investigated due to their application in brachytherapy, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine diagnosis, radioisotope power systems, radiation processing of food, geological and archaeological dating methods. This review collects the newest experimental results on the thermoluminescent (TL) properties of crystalline and glassy materials. The comparison of the physico-chemical properties shows that glassy materials could be a promising alternative for dosimetry purposes. Furthermore, the controlled process of crystallization can enhance the thermoluminescent properties of glasses. On the other hand, the article presents information on the ranges of the linear response to the dose of ionizing radiation and on the temperature positions of the thermoluminescent peaks depending on the doping concentration with rare-earth elements for crystalline and glassy materials. Additionally, the stability of dosimetric information storage (fading) and the optimal concentration of admixtures that cause the highest thermoluminescent response for a given type of the material are characterized. The influence of modifiers addition, i.e., rare-earth elements on the spectral properties of borate and phosphate glasses is described.

“…Recently, different compositions of borate glasses have attracted the attention of several research groups focused on dosimetry based on thermoluminescence (TL) emission. This is due to the good stability of the TL signal, interesting temperature of emission, and effective atomic number near to that of human soft tissue (Z eff ≈ 7.4) or human bone (Z eff ≈ 13.8) . Lead borate glasses in the binary composition 33PbO–67B 2 O 3 in mol % have recently been investigated using TL and showed an increase in emission after a controlled crystallization process…”

Thermoluminescence emission on lead oxychloroborate glasses under UV exposure

et al. 2019

Glassy materials were prepared using two different systems: 50B 2 O 3 -(50 − x)PbO − xPbCl 2, with x = 0, 2 and 5 in mol % (System BPCl-I) and 50BO 1.5 -(50 − x)PbO − xPbCl 2 with x = 0, 2, 5 and 7 in cationic % (System BPCl-II). Structural and optical characterization showed that PbCl when substituted for PbO changed the structure of the glass network by replacing nonbridging oxygens for chlorine ions. This substitution also caused a change in the number of defects responsible for thermoluminescence (TL) emission (electrons and hole trap centres). Thermoluminescence emissions were observed for the first time in lead oxychloroborate glasses after exposure to UV radiation. Sample BPCl-I-2 (x = 2 from System I) demonstrated better TL emission compared with other glass samples. One intense peak in the glow curve, centred at 122°C followed by a shoulder at~180°C, was highly sensitive to UV radiation. There were also good linear responses at dose range~0.4 to~2 J/cm 2 for the first peak (low temperature) and~0.4 to~4 J/cm 2 for the second peak (high temperature).
