ZnS–ZnO thermoluminescent phosphors have been synthesized by a low-cost chemical method. They exhibit a thermoluminescence response increasing linearly as a function of β-irradiation dose, from 25 Gy to 1600 Gy, without saturation. The glow curves indicate that these phosphors could be useful for both thermoluminescence and afterglow dosimetry. Keywords Thermoluminescence ZnS–ZnO dosimetry beta particle irradiation
