Thermoluminescence characteristics of Nd-doped SiO 2 optical fibers irradiated with the 60 Co gamma rays

Thermoluminscence characteristics and dosimetric parameters of Nd+3 doped alkali borosilicate glass

“…Nd‐doped SiO 2 optical fibers are considered as a potential candidate for photon radiotherapy thermoluminescence dosimetry due to its high radiation sensitivity, slow fading, wide range linear dose–response, and high spatial resolution due to its small size …”

“…[16][17][18][19] Nd-doped SiO 2 optical fibers are considered as a potential candidate for photon radiotherapy thermoluminescence dosimetry due to its high radiation sensitivity, slow fading, wide range linear dose-response, and high spatial resolution due to its small size. 20 The main objective of this work is to report the thermoluminescence characteristics of Nd-doped alkali-borosilicate glasses irradiated to Co-60 gamma radiation in the dose range of 0.5-1000 Gy. The TL parameters such as, the radiation sensitivity, dose-response, kinetic order, frequency factor, activation energy, and signal fading, are described.…”

Investigation of TLD-700 energy response to low energy x-ray encountered in diagnostic radiology

“…Lakshmanan et al [16] have studied the energy dependence of sensitized LiF for x-rays produced by high voltage from 80 to 250kV (with e ective photon energy from 29 to 133keV) and Co. Bakshi et al [17] have studied the energy response of some TLD dosimeters for low energy synchrotron radiations. More recently, other works were published, but they concerned another kind of dosimeters and the study was at high energy [18][19][20].…”
