AI Article Synopsis

  • The research focuses on analyzing the luminescence properties of KYF single crystals that are doped with varying amounts of Ce ions.
  • It investigates how these crystals respond to beta radiation through thermoluminescence, radioluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence.
  • The findings show that KYF:Ce has excellent dosimetric capabilities for beta radiation detection within a specific dose range of 0.02-20 Gy.

Article Abstract

The goals of this work are to determine the luminescence properties of KYF single crystals doped with different concentrations of Ce ions and to evaluate their possible application as a detector of beta radiation. In particular, thermoluminiscence, radioluminiscence and optically stimulated luminescence properties of KYF: Ce exposed to beta radiation have been studied and very good dosimetric properties have been obtained within the dose range 0.02-20 Gy.
