Abstract

Tb(3+)-doped SrSiO(3) phosphor synthesised by co-precipitation technique exhibits intense green emission due to cross-relaxation phenomena between Tb(3+) ions. Dosimetric properties of this phosphor have been investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) technique. A dosimetrically useful glow peak observed was at 581 K along with a linear dose response over the wide dose range (100 mGy-4 Gy). TL parameters such as trap depth (E), frequency factor (s) and the order of kinetics (b) are determined by different methods such as Chen's peak shape, initial rise, isothermal decay and variable heating rate methods. Results of these methods are compared and reported in this study.
