Abstract
Al 2O 3:Si,Ti is a sensitive thermoluminescent phosphor. ESR studies have been carried out in order to study the characteristics of the defect centers and the TL peaks observed in this phosphor. Two types of ESR centers (center I and center II) have been identified in Al 2O 3:Si,Ti. Center I is characteristic of a species exhibiting an isotropic g-value 2.0096 with a line width of 50 G. Center II is also characterized by an isotropic g-value 1.9526 with a line width of about 40 G. Thermal decay of center I shows three different annealing stages in the temperature ranges 125 – 225 ∘ C , 430 – 525 ∘ C and 600 – 680 ∘ C , which indicates correlation between center I and TL peaks at 175, 475 and 625 ∘ C , respectively. Decay of center II in the region 600 – 700 ∘ C appears to relate with the TL peak around 625 ∘ C .
