Models of radiation-induced lattice defects or radicals and elementary
processes of their formation are discussed for both organics and inor
ganic materials used in practice for ESR dating and dosimetry. A hybri
d material containing a stabilizer embedded in van der Waals type mole
cular crystal matrix is proposed considering the tissue equivalence of
organic materials. Inorganic materials suitable for radiation dosimet
ry and dosimetric imaging should be developed taking into account the
accumulated information on ESR dating and also on TLD materials. Copyr
