Pr. Gonzalez et J. Azorin, Thermoluminescent response of LiF : Mg,Cu,P+PTFE prepared in Mexico to Sr-90/Y-90 beta particles, RADIAT PH C, 61(3-6), 2001, pp. 425-427
Results of study of the thermoluminescent response of LiF:Mg,Cu,P+PTFE irra
diated with beta particles are presented and compared with results for LiF
TLD-100. Both materials exhibited a linear dose response in the range from
4.35 mGy to 2.17519 Gy. The glow curve of LiF: Mg,Cu,P+ PTFE exhibited four
peaks while TLD-100 showed six. All the peaks studied for the two material
s exhibited first order kinetics. The average values of activation energy w
ere: 1.35, 1.58 and 2.51 eV for LiF: Mg,Cu,P+PTFE; and, 2.04, 2.24, 2.51 an
d 2.89 eV for LiF TLD-100. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
