Abstract
Optical and thermoluminescence studies on single crystals of the perov skite-like KMgF3, doped with Tl+ ions, show that under beat or gamma i rradiation various kinds of complex centers are formed. New absorption and luminescence bands are identified and measured as a function of t emperature. The glow curve of the phosphor exhibits only one peak, and its features are in general promising for radiation dosimetry.
