LiMgBO :Dy , a low Z material was prepared using the solution combustion method and its luminescence properties were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermoluminescence (TL), photoluminescence (PL), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. Reitvield refinement was also performed for the structural studies. The PL emission spectra for LiMgBO :Dy consisted of two peaks at 478 due to the F → H magnetic dipole transition and at 572 nm due to the hypersensitive F → H electric dipole transition of Dy , respectively. A TL study was carried out for both the γ-ray-irradiated sample and the C irradiated samples and was found to show high sensitivity for both. Moreover the γ-ray-irradiated LiMgBO :Dy sample showed linearity in the dose range 10 Gy to 1 kGy and C -irradiated samples show linearity in the fluence range 2 × 10 to 1 × 10 ions/cm . In the present study, the initial rise method, various heating rate method, the whole glow curve method, glow curve convolution deconvolution function, and Chen's peak shape method were used to calculate kinetic parameters to understand the TL glow curve mechanism in detail. Finally, an EPR study was performed to examine the radicals responsible for the TL process.

Using the solid-state reaction technique, varied YSiO phosphors activated by europium (Eu) ions at varied concentrations were made at calcination temperatures of 1000 °C and 1250 °C during sintering in an air environment. The XRD technique identified the monoclinic structure, and the FTIR technique was used to analyze the generated phosphors. Photoluminescence emission and excitation patterns were measured using varying concentrations of Eu ions.

A glow-curve analysis code was previously developed in C++ to analyze thermoluminescent dosimeter glow curves using automated peak detection while a first-order kinetics model. A newer version of this code was implemented to improve the automated peak detection and curve fitting models. The Stochastic Gradient Descent Algorithm was introduced to replace the prior approach of taking first and second-order derivatives for peak detection.

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.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored how different heat treatments affected the thermoluminescence (TL) and structure of zinc sulfide (ZnS) samples, revealing that annealing increased the proportion of the hexagonal wurtzite phase.
- - The best thermoluminescence intensity was found in a sample with 8.2% wurtzite and 91.8% cubic zinc sulfide, with the analysis showing well-formed, aggregated ZnS nanoparticles.
- - The researchers used advanced techniques to analyze TL glow curves, identifying multiple trapping energy peaks and determining activation energies related to electron traps in the samples.
