Abstract
This article reports the characteristics of thermoluminescence (TL) dosimeter of dysprosium doped strontium borate glass for NaO, Li2O, and CaO modifiers imposed by 10–90 Gy dose of 60Co gamma ray irradiation. The different elements are (70.0 – x) B2O3–20SrO–10NaO–xDy2O3, 10Li2O–20SrO–(70 – x)B2O3–(x)Dy2O3 and 10CaO–20SrO–(70.0 – x)B2O3–(x)Dy2O3 (x = 0, 0.10, 0.30, 0.50, 0.70 mol %). The glass was formed by melt quenching method and the ranges of Dy2O3 were 0.0 to 0.7 mol %. Calcium strontium borate doped with 0.3 mol % Dy2O3 shows very good linearity on dose response and gives an excellent sensitivity at 50 Gy dose of 60Co gamma ray irradiation. The samples N1, L1, C3 were completely amorphous. The optimums anneal temperature, time, concentration of Dy2O3 and heating rate were investigated for glass samples N1, L1, C3. The systematic characteristics of glow curve, TL intensity, reproducibility, sensitivity, kinetic parameters and effective atomic number were studied for three selected samples. All samples show the maximum peak from 154–200°C temperatures.
