Abstract

We have examined the X-ray-induced luminescence of Sn-doped zinc borate (SZB) glasses prepared by a conventional melt-quenching method in an Ar atmosphere, determining that there is a linear relationship between the thermal properties and SnO, in addition to the elastic properties. The scintillation intensity of SZB glasses increases with tin concentration. Meanwhile, the intensity of thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) achieves a maximum peak area in the sample with 0.1 mol% Sn concentration. A clear inverse relationship between scintillation and TSL in SZB glasses is observed.
