C. Furetta et al., MODIFICATIONS INDUCED BY IONIZING-RADIATIONS IN THE LUMINESCENCE FROMSINGLE-CRYSTALS OF LIFMG, CU, P, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 91(1-4), 1994, pp. 215-218
Single crystals of LiF:Mg,Cu,P have been grown and characterized with
thermoluminescence and optical experiments. Good dosimetric features,
such as linear response to radiation dose and resistance to thermal tr
eatment, have been identified in spite of a poor sensitivity of the ma
terial. Absorption and emission bands have been assigned to color cent
ers, impurity ions and complex defects.
