RESUMO
CaB2O4 nanorods doped with different concentrations of Cu were prepared by using co-precipitation method. The recorded Thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of CaB2O4:Cu samples for different concentrations of Cu irradiated with 6 Gy of X-Ray shows that 0.05 at.wt% of Cu concentrations have higher sensitivity. The TL and OSL kinetic parameters of glow curves were evaluated using "tgcd" and conventional fitting methods. The TL glow curve of the CaB2O4:Cu have three individual glow peaks with maximum peak temperatures at 404.50, 453.04 and 484.02 K respectively. The OSL glow curves of the CaB2O4:Cu nanoparticles follow non-first order kinetics which can be fitted with the sum of two first order decay curves.
RESUMO
CaB4O7 nanoparticles doped with different concentrations of Dy3+ were prepared by using solution combustion method. The recorded Thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of CaB4O7:Dy samples for different concentrations of Dy3+ irradiated with 6 Gy of X-Ray shows concentration quenching effect above 0.05 at.wt% of Dy3+ concentrations. The TL and OSL kinetic parameters of glow curves were evaluated using "tgcd" and conventional fitting methods. The TL glow curve of the CTB:(0.05%)Dy have five individual glow peaks with maximum peak temperatures at 410, 470, 525, 563 and 593 K. TL Dose response of the X-Ray irradiated CTB:(0.05%)Dy is also found to be linear in the range of 1 Gy to 50 Gy. The OSL glow curves of the CTB:Dy nanoparticles follow non-first order kinetics and can be fitted with the sum of three first order decay curves. Fading characteristics of the TL and OSL signals are studied for 40 days and found to be very stable.
