Fa. Balogun et al., GRAIN-SIZE DEPENDENCE OF LYOLUMINESCENCE SENSITIVITY IN MANNOSE, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 353(1-3), 1994, pp. 429-431
In mannose, grain-size and grain-size band width have been shown to ha
ve considerable effect on lyoluminescence (LL) yield and fading charac
teristics. The effects of these on sensitivity and reproducibility of
dose interpretation are reported in this work. Dose reproducibility of
better than 0.3% is recorded among narrow grain-size band samples whi
le dose coefficient of 5.31 change in LL yield per Gy is obtained for
the more uniform grain-sized samples.
