摘要
Thin films of pure and Nd doped Y2O3 were prepared following a new sol-gel route on glass substrate. Sets of thin films were prepared in different oxidation and densification conditions and the effect of such conditions in the morphology, crystallization, surface aspect and thermoluminescence (TL) and radioluminescence response are analysed. The results indicates that the films are suitable for scintillating devices rather than solid state TL dosimeters. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
