Thermoluminescence properties of KCl(1-X)KBrX:Pb2+ mixed crystals.

Abstract:

:A study is presented of the thermoluminescence (TL) of phosphors based on potassium halides doped with divalent lead, such as KCl:Pb2+, KBr:Pb2+ and the crystalline series KCl(1-X)Br(X):Pb2+. The defects in the crystals generated by irradiation have been investigated as well as the trapping and room temperature recombination mechanisms. The samples were gamma irradiated to a dose of 10 kGy. The TL spectral response during the recombination stage was obtained through simultaneous measurements of temperature, emitted light intensity and emission wavelength by using an automated thermoluminescence system with optical fibre couplings and a diode array as a detection device. The TL emission is a broad band in the 350-600 nm range with a maximum strongly dependent upon the mixed composition.
