Energy response and thermoluminescence properties of lithium potassium borate Glass co-doped with Cu and SnO2 nanoparticles

Abstract

Available online xxx Keywords:Thermoluminescence Borate glass TL response SnO 2 nanoparticles Glow curve a b s t r a c t SnO 2 nanoparticles doped lithium potassium borate with Cu-doped was prepared by meltquenching technique. The field emission scanning electron microscope was used to examine morphology of samples. The TLD-Reader 4500 was used to measurement of thermoluminescence. The glow curves position of Cu-doped and co-doped SnO 2 glass were recorded at about 205 C and 215 C respectively. The linear relationship of dose-TL intensity was observed for both samples. The TLD sensitivity shows that the co-doped SnO 2 glass has almost 6 time higher sensitivity compared to Cu-doped glass. It was found that the theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results for relative energy response. The activation energy and frequency factor of TL glow peak are determined by using the peak shape method.

The Potential Use of Car Windscreens for Post-Accident Dose Reconstruction in the Periphery of Nuclear Installations

“…TL sensitivity is represented as the TL signal per unit dose per unit mass (µC g −1 Gy −1 ), Figure 3 revealing present results from use of 60 Co gamma irradiation. Sample sensitivity with dose is subject to various influencing factors including choice of TLD reader [22] and the means of sample handling. The TL sensitivity graph depicts that all studied samples demonstrate a pronounced low-dose sensitivity relative to high-dose exposure.…”

Study on some physical and optical properties of alkaline alumino borate glasses doped with Mn2+ ions

“…When alkaline earth metal oxides added to the borate oxide, a part of the boron is modified to tetrahedral coordination to a particular limit after which nonbridging oxygens are formed [7]. A portion of the advantages in utilizing modifiers (alkali/alkaline) in borate glass details are to increase the thermal resistance and mechanical strength, enhanced aqueous capacity to concentrate TM ions, chemical durability and also reduced of melting temperature [8]. Al 2 O 3 enters in the alkaline borate glasses are either AlO 4 or AlO 6 depend on the ratio of the aluminium and alkaline earth material.…”
