Abstract

In order to observe and estimate the dose of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the thermoluminescence (TL) of sintered CaF2 doped with Tb4O7 and Sm2O3 was studied. A several kind of lanthanides elements are doped in pure CaF2 powder crystals and properties of the TL to UV radiation were observed. The TL intensity from CaF2:Tb was the highest among the samples doped other lanthanide elements. The TL emission may be due to the recombination reaction; Tb2+ + hole-->Tb3+*-->Tb3+ + hv. The TL peaks are observed at about 353 K, 378 K and 458 K. It was found that the 378 K TL peak intensity of CaF2:Tb became strong by addition of Sm2O3. The 378 K TL peak may also be suitable for use as a dosimeter.
