The Effect of LiF in Gd2O3:Eu, Y2O3:Eu, ZrO2:Zn and ZrO2:Er on UV Induced Thermoluminescence

Thermoluminescence properties of copper doped zirconium oxide for UVR dosimetry

“…For monitoring the ultraviolet radiation (UVR) different materials have been employed using the thermoluminescence (TL) method (Driscoll, 1996;Chang and Su, 1993;Su and Yeh, 1996;Colyott et al, 1997Colyott et al, ,1999. This technique has an advantage over other methods owing to the simplicity of the sample readout.…”

Beta radiation induced thermoluminescence in pure ZrO2 prepared by sol–gel

“…The TL glows curves induced in pure and doped ZrO 2 by room temperature irradiation with ultraviolet [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], X-rays [4,[15][16][17], beta [15,18] or gamma [15,19,20] radiation have been reported by many authors. In general, the structure of the TL curves is similar both for ionizing and UV radiation.…”

Ultraviolet Induced Thermoluminescence in Gadolinium-Doped Zirconium Oxide Films

“…One of the former uses of thermoluminescence (TL), the emission of light for a solid, previously exposed to an exciting agent, when heated at a temperature below its incandescence temperature, was the measurement of the UVR. Different TL materials have been proposed to be used to measure UVR [1][2][3][4][5] This technique has the advantages of the small size of the dosimeters, lack of power requirements, linear response as a function of absorbed dose, high sensitivity and simple readout method. TL induced in ZrO 2 exposed to UV, x-rays or gamma radiation has been reported by several authors.…”
