    Beta irradiation-induced thermoluminescence: Glow curve analysis and kinetic parameters in combustion-synthesized undoped Ca4YO(BO3)3
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Madkhli, A. Y.; Jabali, D. A.; Souadi, G.; Sonsuz, M.; Kaynar, U. H.; Akca-Ozalp, S.; Ayvacikli, M.
    This study examines the thermoluminescent (TL) properties of undoped Ca4YO(BO3)3 phosphor, focusing on how it behaves under a variety of experimental conditions. The IRSL-TL 565 nm was chosen as the appropriate detection filter among various optical detection filter combinations. During the preheating trials conducted at a rate of 2 degrees C/s, the TL peak exhibited increased intensity, particularly around 200 degrees C. The experimental outcomes demonstrated a reliable linear relationship (R2 = 0.996 and b = 1.015) in the dose response of undoped preheated Ca4YO(BO3)3 within the range of 1-200 Gy. The investigation encompasses a range of techniques, including the TM-Tstop method, computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) analysis, and theoretical modelling. The application of the TM-Tstop method to samples irradiated with a 5 Gy dose revealed distinct zones on the TM versus Tstop diagram, signifying the presence of at least two discernible components within the TL glow curve, specifically, a single general order kinetics peak and a continuous distribution. The analysis of activation energy versus preheated temperature exhibited a stepwise curve, indicating five trap levels with depths ranging between 1.13 eV and 1.40 eV. The CGCD method also revealed the superposition of at least five distinct TL glow peaks. It was observed that their activation energies were consistent with the Tm-Tstop experiment. Furthermore, the low Figure of Merit (FOM) value of 1.18% indicates high reliability in the goodness-of-fit measure. These findings affirm the reliability and effectiveness of the employed methods in characterizing the TL properties of the Ca4YO(BO3)3 phosphor under investigation. Theoretical models, including the semi-localized transition model, were introduced to explain anomalous observations in TL glow peak intensities and heating rate patterns. While providing a conceptual framework, these models may require adjustments to accurately capture the specific characteristics uncovered through CGCD analysis. As a potential application, the study suggests that the characterized TL properties of Ca4YO(BO3)3 phosphor could be utilized in dosimetric applications, such as radiation dose measurements, owing to its reliable linear response within a broad dose range.

    Beta-irradiated ZnGa2O4:Sm3+phosphor: Thermoluminescence glow curves and kinetic parameters via gel combustion synthesis
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2024) Barad, A.; Topaksu, M.; Hakami, J.; Kaynar, U. H.; Akca-Ozalp, S.; Altowyan, Abeer S.; Aydin, H.
    This study examines the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) characteristics of Sm 3+-doped ZnGa 2 O 4 phosphor, shedding light on its structural characteristics. The XRD data reveal distinctive peaks that represent the crystal 's lattice structure. This provides the basis for a more detailed analysis of thermoluminescence (TL). Initially, the TL glow curves corresponding to different concentrations of Sm were analysed, leading to the identification of the most favorable Sm concentration. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the TL behavior of the material in response to varying doses within a broad spectrum of beta radiation, revealing a linear characteristic (b=1.075) across doses ranging from 0.1 Gy to 50 Gy. Following this, a reusability assessment was executed over three measurement sets, wherein it was ascertained that the deviation in peak area across ten cycles did not surpass 2 %. Furthermore, it was investigated how different heating rates ranging from 0.5 degrees C/s to 7 degrees C/s affect the TL curve of the material. To determine the TL trap parameters of the sample, Initial Rise (IR) and Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD) methods were employed. A consistent pattern of activation energy values was observed in both IR in the T M-T stop experiment and CGCD analyses, indicating a uniform response to distinct energy levels within the sample. In terms of providing valuable insights into the characteristics of TL, these methods were found to be very effective. This contributed to a comprehensive understanding of charge carrier dynamics within the crystal lattice. Moreover, Peaks I, II, and III showed a linear response to applied doses, indicating the material 's potential for dosimetry applications. The findings of this study not only provide insights into Sm 3+-doped ZnGd 2 O 4 phosphors ' TL properties, but also enhance our understanding of how to optimize their radiation response.

    Unravelling the impact of unusual heating rate, dose-response and trap parameters on the thermoluminescence of Sm3+activated GdAl3(BO3)4 phosphors exposed to beta particle irradiation
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Souadi, G.; Kaynar, Umit H.; Sonsuz, M.; Akca-Ozalp, S.; Ayvacikli, M.; Topaksu, M.; Ozmen, O. T.
    The thermoluminescence of GdAl3(BO3)4 (GAB) doped with various concentrations of Sm3+ (i.e. from 0.5 to 7 wt %), prepared by gel combustion, was studied. TL glow peaks at 78 degrees C and 225 degrees C are observed. The intensity of the glow peak at 225 degrees C increased with a faster heating rate. To gain insight into the trap activation energies, the methods of Hoogenstraaten and Booth-Bohun-Parfianovitch were used, where the calculated activation energies are 0.57 eV and 0.60 eV for Peak I and 1.69 eV and 1.71 eV for Peak II respectively. The dose-response of GAB:0.5 wt%Sm3+ demonstrates robust linearity up to 40 Gy, with a strong correlation coefficient of 0.999. Both TM-Tstop combined with the Initial Rise (IR) and Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD) techniques were employed, which revealed six overlapping glow peaks beneath the main peaks. Additionally, the results suggest that the TL signal can be efficiently exploited for radiation dosimetry applications.
