Abstract

Thermoluminescence and optical properties of LiF:Mg,Cu,P; BaSO4:Dy; BaSO4; Eu and α-Al2O3:C were investigated as a part of a broader research project on TL mechanisms in various materials. The effects of ionizing radiation on these phosphors are determined in this work by means of thermoluminescence and optical absorption experiments with the aim of identifying new defects formed in these systems and of testing dosimetric characteristics.
