Abstract
Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) studies of gamma-irradiated uraniumdoped K2Ca2(SO4)3 revealed two glow peaks around 400 K and 435 K. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies carried out on these samples have shown the formation of the radical ions SO 4 − , SO 3 − , SO 2 − and O 3 − . From the study of the thermal stabilities of these radical ions, it was found that the thermal destruction of SO 2 − and SO 4 − radical ions are associated with the glow peaks observed around 400 K and 435 K respectively. Uranate ion was identified as the luminescent centre for the observed TSL glow. The trap depth values for the glow peaks have been determined from TSL data.
