Synthesis and investigation of thermoluminescence properties

Thermoluminescent materials are used as passive dosimeters in a wide range of radiological applications. Alkaline earth aluminate ceramics are important host materials that have been prepared and studied by several researchers for luminescence applications. Many researchers have studied CaAl2O4 as an important constituent of cementitious compositions Rare-earth and non-rare-earth doped inorganic phosphors are widely used in a variety of applications, such as lamp industry, radiation dosimetry, X-ray imaging and colour display. The purpose of this thesis is to synthesize of rare-earth doped calcium aluminate phosphor and to investigate the thermoluminescence properties in detail.
