DOSE-RESPONSE OF THERMOLUMINESCENCE EMISSION-SPECTRA OF LIF-MG,TI WITH DIFFERENT MG, TI IMPURITY CONCENTRATIONS

The dose response of the TL emission spectra of an LiF:Mg,Ti(TLD-100) sample and three LiF:Mg,Ti samples with different impurity concentrations (0-6 ppm Ti and 80-100 ppm Mg) have been measured. At a dose less than 22 Gy the emission spectrum of the TLD-100 sample comprises one emission band at 420 nm. The sample without Ti shows also one emission band but now at 620 nm. The spectra of the other two samples comprises two emission bands at 420 nm and 620 nm of which the intensity of the 420 nm band increases with increasing Ti concentration. The dose response of the glow peaks is different for peaks at different temperatures and emission bands. From these observations it can be concluded that in LIF:Mg,Ti at least some of the traps and luminescent centers are coupled.
