Abstract
|
Thermoluminescence (TL) and photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of CaSO4:Ce nanocrystalline prepared
by hydrothermal method has been studied. Its TL glow curve contains three overlapping glow
peaks at around 490, 505 and 521 K. Emission spectra band at 303 and 324 nm were observed for the
orthorhombic phase of nanosheets. TL response of the prepared nanocrystalline to b and c radiation
was studied and the sensitivity of the nanosheets was found much more than that of analogous
microcrystalline and is around 10 times higher than the well known high sensitive TL dosimeter
LiF:Mg, Cu, P (GR-200) hot-pressed chips. TL kinetic parameters of this nanocrystalline are also
presented.
