文摘

Dosimetry properties of an improved TL dosimeter. The dosimeter is made of lithium borate, modified with ZnO, doped with CuO and co-doped with Na2O. With addition of Na to Cu in the ZLB host, TL yield and sensitivity has significantly enhanced. The fading behaviour has also been minimized significantly. The new material is also characterized with the linear dose response, and good reproducibility behaviour.
