This work reports the synthesis and beta particle excited thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of NaF and NaF:Tm phosphors synthesized via wet precipitation. The samples were subjected to thermal annealing at 750 °C for 5, 10, and 24 h in an air atmosphere. A sensitization effect is observed in repeated irradiation-TL readout cycles.

Soda ash, due to its various use for industrial applications, is a phosphor likely to be found in the vicinities of radiation facilities where retrospective dosimetry may be required in the unlikely events of radiation accidents/incidents. The ash is therefore a potential material for retrospective dosimetry using luminescence techniques. In this report, the thermoluminescence characteristics of soda ash from Suan pan, Botswana are presented.

The non-thermoluminescence afterglow-based dosimetry performance of self-agglomerating pellet-shaped CaSO:Dy phosphors synthesized through a low-cost, environmentally friendly method is first reported. Thermoluminescence (TL) and afterglow (AG) were analyzed in samples exposed to beta particle irradiation in the dose range from 0.06 to 8.

However, elastico-ML has not been demonstrated at the near-ultraviolet (NUV) range. In this study, a novel NUV elastico-ML material (Ca, Sr)MgAlSiO:Ce (CSMASOC) with a melilite-type structure is successfully developed.

This study investigates the OSL properties of four natural fluorite color varieties (green, purple, blue-yellow banded and yellow) under green light stimulation. Thermoluminescence reveals two peaks, with the green sample showing the strongest glow. OSL exhibits a fast initial decay followed by a slower one, with phototransfer observed in purple and yellow.
