McKeever gives us a comprehensive survey of thermoluminescence, an important, versatile,
and widely-used experimental technique. Bringing together previously isolated specialized …

It has been realized since the early development of the first commercial TL dosimeter, LiF:
Mg, Ti, that impurities (dopants) play a crucial role in the luminescence process. Initial …

The isothermal decay at 25· C of the optical absorption bands in irradiated LiP TLD-l 00
single crystals has been compared with the decay, under the same conditions, of …

We revisit the theoretical description of the F color center in lithium fluoride employing
advanced complementary ab initio techniques. We compare the results from periodic …

Doping with alkaline earth impurities converts the alkali halides into very efficient phosphors.
LiF doped with Mg is extensively used in radiation dosimetry. However, the phenomenon of …

We present a review of the charge trapping and recombination mechanisms in LiF
thermoluminescence (TL) dosimeters and discuss several dosimetric properties of this …

The dependence of the thermoluminescence (TL) dose response on ionization density
continues to be a subject of major importance from both theoretical and applied …

A theoretical treatment is presented for the supralinearity of thermoluminescence glow
peaks. The model assumes part of the thermoluminescence trap population as interactive …

Detailed optical absorption curves of gamma-irradiated LiF: Mg, Ti are presented.
Computerised curve-fitting of the spectra allow for the behaviour of the individual peaks to …

The concept of competition-during-heating as a mechanism for TL supralinearity and
sensitization in TLD-1OO is re-examined. It is demonstrated that with this model it is not …
