ABSTRACT
In this research, the effect of magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu) and phosphorus (P) impurities on dosimetry response of LiFMg,Cu,P phosphors is studied experimentally and by the simulation procedure. In the experimental procedure, LiFMg,Cu,P phosphors in the powder form were synthesised by chemical co-precipitation method. After annealing at 250°C for 10 min, known amounts of powder were exposed to gamma doses from 0.2 to 1 Gy. The activation energy of the electronic traps for the dosimetric peak at 150°C in LiFMg,Cu,P crystalline lattice obtained was 0.69 eV. In the simulation study, the role of stated dopants on electronic and structural properties of LiF crystalline lattice is investigated with the WIEN2 K Code. The activation energies of the electronic and hole traps for the dosimetric peak at the same temperature in LiFMg,Cu,P crystalline lattice obtained are 0.75 and 3.1 eV, respectively. It is shown that the experimental results are in agreement with simulation results.
