Abstract

In this study, we synthesized Dy-doped CaF2 transparent ceramics with several concentrations and evaluated optical, thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL), and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties. The 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5% Dy-doped samples had diffuse transmittance of approximately 60% at 500 nm, and the absorption band appeared at around 280 nm after X-ray irradiation. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation wavelengths were 255, 295, 325, 350, 360, and 390 nm. When Dy concentration was 0.1%, the PL quantum yield was maximum. The OSL peaks of the Dy-doped samples was observed at 480, 570, and 660 nm by the optical stimulation at 280 nm. The TSL glow curves of the 0.5 and 1.0% Dy-doped samples consisted of the glow peaks at 75, 160, and 200 °C. The minimum detectable dose of the 0.5% Dy-doped sample as the OSL and TSL dosimeters was 15 mGy and 0.28 μGy, respectively.
