Abstract
We have studied the thermoluminescence (TL) and roentgenoluminescence (RL) of glassy and crystallized (Li2B4O7)0.999(MnO2)0.001-(Li4B10O17)0.999(MnO2)0.001 samples. The results demonstrate that annealing influences the relative TL and RL intensities in the samples owing to crystallization processes. The TL and RL intensities of the crystalline materials are several times higher than those of the thermoluminescent material (Li2B4O7)0.999(MnO2)0.001 and have a maximum at B2O3 excesses of 7–11 mol %.
