Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the present article, polycrystalline low Z (Zeff = 8.19) LiAlO2:Dy/Eu phosphor prepared by simple wet chemical method. Thermoluminescence and some of the dosimetric characteristics of Dy/Eu activated LiAlO2 were reported. Samples in powder form were exposed to γ-ray irradiation with 137 Cs source for both LiAlO2:Dy and LiAlO2:Eu phosphors were studied for the first time. In case of LiAlO2:Dy phosphor shows one peak at 287°C and small hump at 335°C. However; LiAlO2:Eu phosphor shows glow peak at 272°C with a shoulder peak around 329°C. The TL sensitivity in both the cases were compared with CaSO4:Dy phosphor.LiAlO2:Dy sample have shown 1.23 times less sensitive than CaSO4:Dy and for LiAlO2:Eu is 5.6 times less sensitive than CaSO4:Dy.The TL response in the 0.001-0.043Gy dose range increased linearly with increase in radiation dose for both the samples. Fading study has been also done for both the samples. In addition to this trap parameters of LiAlO2:Dy/Eu were calculated by using computerized glow curve deconvolution and Chen's peak shape method.
