Unlocking the effect of Li and Ce ions on the thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence signals of the MgBO compound.

Magnesium tetraborate (MgBO) is an example of a material that has attracted the attention of researchers in the field of ionising radiation dosimetry. Several challenges are present in order to achieve considerable advances in luminescence dosimetry. The incorporation of efficient dopants in the host matrix has been an experimentally useful but limited strategy.
