ABSTRACT

The Li2B4O7:Cu, Eu glass has been investigated as a potential active element in optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry. For this purpose, the dependence of the integrated total infrared OSL (IR-OSL) signal on the dose of β-irradiation (the 90Sr/90Y β-source) and the IR-OSL decay curves were obtained and analyzed. It was established that the IR-OSL intensity becomes sublinear at very high radiation doses, while the OSL decay does not belong to the first and second-order kinetics and is described by the sum of three exponential components

Keywords: Li2B4O7:Cu, Eu glass, β-irradiation, optically stimulated luminescence, dose dependence, decay curve

    Скло Li2B4O7:Cu,Eu було досліджене як потенційний активний елемент в дозиметрії оптично стимульованої люмінесценції (ОСЛ). З цією метою було отримано та проаналізовано залежність інтегрального сигналу інфрачервоної ОСЛ (IЧ-ОСЛ) від дози β-опромінення (β-джерело 90Sr/90Y), а також криві загасання ІЧ-ОСЛ. Було встановлено, що інтенсивність ІЧ-ОСЛ стає сублінійною при дуже високих дозах опромінення, тоді як крива загасання ОСЛ не належить до кінетики першого та другого порядку і описується сумою трьох експоненціальних складових.
