Abstract
In this study, we report the dosimetric properties of zinc-doped magnesium borate (MgB4O7:Zn) glass, which was originally synthesized. MgB4O7:Zn glass was successfully synthesized through the melt-quenching technique. The amorphous nature of the synthesized samples was observed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and further confirmed through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis. The glass-forming ability and thermal stability were estimated to be 0.61 and 1.62, respectively. The TL dosimetric characteristics, i.e., dose response, reproducibility, TL sensitivity, minimum detectable dose and signal stability, are reported. The synthesized sample demonstrated a simple glow curve with a single well-defined dosimetric peak at 240 °C with an optimal heating rate of 7 °C s−1. The synthesized glass demonstrated a linear dose response from 3 Gy to 5 kGy. The promising dosimetric characteristics demonstrate the potential of the synthesized glass to be recommended as a TL dosimeter for a wide range of applications.
