Preparation, Testing and Dosimetric Applications of CaSO sub 4 Rare Earth Phosphors

摘要

The method now used at ARL to prepare single crystals and powders of undoped and rare earth doped CaSO sub 4 is outlined. TL glow curves and emission spectra obtained from the undoped samples as well as from samples of Dy, Gd, Eu, Tm, Sm, Dy:Eu and Dy:Tm doped CaSO sub 4 are presented. Possible dosimetric applications of these phosphors are also described. (Atomindex citation 16:033934)
