摘要
LiF:Mg,Cu,P detectors with nine different Mg concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 mol% were produced for fixed P and Cu concentrations of 1.2 and 0.03 mol%, respectively. Glow curves of samples annealed between 240 and 280 degrees C revealed that the curve shape and the intensity of thermoluminescence (TL) peaks clearly depend on the Mg concentration and annealing temperature. LiF:Mg,Cu,P doped with Mg concentrations,>= 0.4 mol% allowed heating of the material to higher temperatures than that originally employed for the GR-200A dosimeter. The sample doped with 0.6% Mg exhibited the smallest change in the relative total-TL due to annealing at different temperatures in the range from 240 to 280 degrees C, with respect to annealing at 240 degrees C. The thermal stability of LiF:Mg,Cu,P clearly depends on the Mg concentration. A high level of Mg doping might result in further changes in the solubility limit temperature and TL sensitivity.
