Exploring the thermoluminescence properties of terbium doped Mg5(BO3)3F phosphors for gamma dosimetry
摘要
Herein, terbium ion-doped Mg5(BO3)3F phosphor was synthesized using a solid-state reaction method. The phase purity, morphology, bond characteristics, and photoluminescence properties are investigated. The Mg5(BO3)3F: 0.5% Tb3+ phosphor exhibited a thermoluminescence dosimetric glow peak at 186 ℃, upon gamma irradiation. The Mg5(BO3)3F: 0.5% Tb3+ phosphor possesses linear dose–response from 0.5 Gy to 1 kGy, and the phosphor possessed low fading and good reproducibility characteristics. The kinetic parameters were estimated by the Tm-Tstop technique, Peak Shape method, and the Glow Curve Deconvolution method. The proficient thermoluminescence properties of Mg5(BO3)3F: 0.5% Tb3+ make them a promising TLD phosphor for radiation dosimetry.
