ABSTRACT

The thermoluminescence (TL) characterizations of γ-irradiated KCl:Dy phosphor for radiation dosimetry are reported. All phosphors were synthesized via a wet chemical route. Minimum fading of TL intensity is recorded in the prepared material. TL in samples containing different concentrations of Dy impurity was studied at different γ-irradiation doses. Peak TL intensities varied sublinearly with γ-ray dose in all samples, but were linear between 0.08 to 0.75 kGy for the KCl:Dy (0.1 mol%) sample. This material may be useful for dosimetry within this range of γ-ray dose. TL peak height was found to be dependant on the concentration (0.05-0.5 mol%) of added Dy in the host.

ABSTRACT

The lyoluminescence (LL), thermoluminescence (TL) and mechanoluminescence (ML) of γ-ray-irradiated coloured powder of KCl:Dy (0.05-0.5 mol%) phosphors are reported in this paper. To understand the mechanism of LL and ML, the LL and ML spectra are compared with TL studies. The variation of intensity of respective luminescence with different γ-ray doses and with different concentrations of Dy3+ ion doped in KCl is found to be similar in nature. The intensities differ from each other, but their nature is found to be similar with γ-ray exposures. The ML glow peak intensity is linear up to high 1 kGy exposure as compared to LL (up to 0.5 kGy) and TL (up to 0.75 kGy) techniques. Therefore, according to our results, the recommendation is that KCl:Dy (0.1 mol%) phosphor prepared by wet chemical technique is useful for high-dose measurements using the ML technique for accidental radiation dosimetry.

ABSTRACT

The temperature and mass dependence of lyoluminescence intensity of γ-irradiated colored potassium chloride powder have been studied using a photomultiplier tube connected to an x-y recorder. The peak lyoluminescence intensity increases with increasing amount of solute added up to 50 mg and then tends to saturate. The lyoluminescence (LL) glow curves with mass of KCl microcrystals show that initially the LL intensity increases with time and then decreases exponentially with time. The decay time consists of two components for all the masses. The dependence of decay time, especially the longer component on mass, has been investigated. The temperature dependence of LL intensity shows that initially the peak LL intensity increases with temperature up to 60°C, and then decreases with further increase in temperature. The decay time tends to decrease with increasing temperature. An explanation for the experimental results has been attempted.
