Application of commercial glasses for high dose measurement using the thermoluminescent technique

Physical properties and thermoluminescence of glasses designed for radiation dosimetry measurements

“…This suggests that the lower loss of TL signal of the S-Ce2, S-Nd3 and S-Mn2 glass samples results from the higher stabilization of trapped charge effects when compared with the RWG. This will help in estimating the doses in case the sample could not be read on time due to some reason [15]. For more information, the 10 samples of the S-Ce2, S-Nd3 and S-Mn2 glass samples were annealed by using a dual step process, and then irradiated with 14 mGy, and the TL signal was read out.…”

“…Therefore, knowledge about radiation protection, radiation shielding and radiation measurement is vital. Recently, many authors have studied the application of soda lime glass (standard window glass) as an accidental dosimeter [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Soda lime glass is widely available and this makes it very attractive for use.…”

High-dose dosimetry with emphasis on the industrial sterilization and accidental radiation dosimetry

“…In the same respect, other researchers (e.g. Bootjomchai et al, 2014;Jipa et al, 2009;Narayan et al, 2008) who studied various types of glass materials found a large decrease in the TL signal (40-65%) after a few days of storage in dark conditions. However, they considered the entire glow curve in the calculation of the TL response, thus, the contribution of the shallow traps to the thermal fading was also taken into account.…”
