Abstract
We report the thermoluminescence of pure LIF crystals following implan tation with Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe ions of 100 keV energy. Fluences were in the range 1 x 10(13) to 3 x 10(17) ions cm(-2). Glow curves produced by different ions have similar structure with peaks near 230 degrees C , 280 degrees C, 295 degrees C, 312 degrees C and 335 degrees C. Relat ive peak heights vary slightly from sample to sample depending on the type and fluence of the implanted ions but the overall intensity of th e glow curves is essentially independent of fluence over a wide range. Other factors investigated include the effect on the glow curves of d ose rate and the presence of magnesium dopant in the target crystal. A comparison is made with gamma-irradiated crystals.
