Anomalous dose behaviour of thermoluminescence glow curves and kinetic analysis of beta irradiated YAl3(BO3)4:Tb phosphor
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Souadi, G.; Bulcar, K.; Kaynar, Umit H.; Ayvacikli, M.; Topaksu, M.; Cam-Kaynar, S.; Can, N.
With the aid of thermoluminescence (TL), we have extensively studied YAl3(BO3)4 host matrices incorporated with Tb3+ at different doping contents, which have been produced by combustion. The measured the TL glow curves exposed to beta rays at different doses consisted of four broad peaks located at around 76, 126, 230, and 378 degrees C. The peak maximum of the 230 degrees C TL peak shifts toward higher temperatures after 5 Gy beta irradiation while the other peak maxima almost remain constant. It is peculiar that 230 degrees C peak maximum shifts to higher temperatures with increased radiation dose and can be attributed to the multiple phases of the sample. A TL glow curve exhibits a proportional increase in intensity with increased the heating rate. A discussion of the possible causes of this pattern is provided. Observed peaks using the TmTstop method are due to the presence of a quasicontinuous distribution of traps. The parameters of the traps have also been estimated using various heating rate methods in excellent agreement with one another.

(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Alajlani, Y.; Oglakci, M.; Barad, A.; Kaynar, U. H.; Topaksu, M.; Canimoglu, A.; Can, N.
This study investigates the thermoluminescence (TL) properties of GdCa4O(BO3)3 phosphors under beta irradiation, highlighting their potential for dosimetric applications. A prominent glow peak at 175 degrees C was observed, demonstrating consistent sensitivity under preheating conditions. TL glow peaks were studied using variable heating rate (VHR), Tm-Tstop, initial rise (IR), and computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) methods. Eight distinct trap levels with activation energies ranging from 0.92 to 1.28 eV were identified, confirming the material's diverse trap-depth distribution. The dose-response behavior exhibited superlinear characteristics, with a minimum detectable dose (MDD) of 74.4 mGy, making it suitable for low-dose monitoring. Observed anomalous heating rate effects were explained using the semi-localized transition (SLT) model. These findings position GdCa4O(BO3)3 as a promising candidate for luminescence-based technologies.
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.

(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Portakal-Uçar, Z. G.; Doğan, T.; Akça, S.; Kaynar, Ümit H.; Topaksu, M.
To evaluate the dopant effect precisely, X-ray diffraction (XRD) for structural, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis for morphological, photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of un-doped, 2.0 mol% Sm3+ doped and 2.0 mol% Sm3+;x mol% Mn2+ (x = 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0) doped Zn2SiO4 phosphors were tested. PL mechanisms of excitation and emission were discussed together with data on the structure and morphology of the samples. The beta doses from 0.1 to 500 Gy with various steps were applied to observe the glow curve readouts after 200 degrees C preheat at a linear heating rate of 2 degrees C/s from RT to 500 degrees C. Zn2SiO4:2.0%Sm3+;0.5%Mn2+ was chosen for further analysis due to having both the most PL and TL peak area. Various heating rate method was used to determine the kinetic parameters as well as initial rise with T-M-T-stop analysis and computerized glow curve deconvolution methods.
Novel Dy incorporated Ca3Y2B4O12 phosphor: Insights into the structure, broadband emission, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence characteristics
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Qaisi, Aziza H.; Kaynar, U. H.; Ayvacikli, M.; Garcia-Guinea, J.; Alajlani, Y.; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.
This study reports cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) properties of undoped borate Ca3Y2B4O12 and Ca3Y2B4O12:x Dy3+ (x = 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7) synthesized by gel combustion method. Micro-X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), CL and PL under electron beam and 359 nm pulse laser excitation, respectively were used to investigate characterization and luminescence studies of synthesized samples in the visible wavelength. As-prepared samples match the standard Ca3Y2BO4 phase that belongs to the orthorhombic system with space group Pnma (62) based on XRD results. Under electron beam excitation, this borate host shows a broad band emission from about 250 to 450 nm, peaked at 370 nm which is attributed to NBHOC. All as-prepared phosphors exhibited the characteristic PL and CL emissions of Dy3+ ions corresponding to F-4(9/2)-> H-6(J) transitions when excited with laser at 359 nm. The CL emission spectra of phosphors were identical to those of the PL spectra. Concentration quenching occurred when the doping concentration was 1 mol% in both the CL and PL spectra. The underlying reason for the concentration quenching phenomena observed in the discrete orange-yellow emission peaked at 574 nm of Dy3+ ion-doped Ca3Y2B4O12 phosphor is also discussed. According to these data, we can infer that this new borate can be used as a yellow emitting phosphor in solid-state illumination.
Samarium doped Ca(3)Y2B(4)O(12) phosphor prepared by combustion method: Anomalous heating rate effect, dosimetric features, and TL kinetic analyses
(Elsevier, 2022) Hakami, J.; Oglakci, M.; Portakal-Ucar, Z. G.; Sonsuz, M.; Kaynar, U. H.; Ayvacikli, M.; Topaksu, M.
The structural and thermoluminescence characteristics of samarium doped Ca3Y2B4O12 samples at various concentrations are presented. The samples were synthesized via the combustion method. The thermolumines-cence (TL) glow curves for Ca(3)Y2B(4)O(12):Sm3+ depict strong peaks at 97 and 410 C. Ca(3)Y2B(4)O(12):Sm3+ exhibited completely opposite behavior, contrary to expectations, in that the luminescence intensity of both the total and individual glow peaks increased with the heating rate throughout the TL experiments. This unusual TL glow peak pattern was discussed via the Mandowski model of semi-localized transitions. The kinetic characteristics of both prominent glow peaks were established using various analysis techniques, including variable heating rate, initial rise (IR) by using the TM-Tstop method and the fractional glow technique (FGT), and computerized glow curve deconvolution (GCD). The dose response of the high temperature peak at 410 C is linear between 0.1 and 5 Gy, and then sublinear at higher doses. In addition, the repeatability and fading results of 410 C TL peak also yielded very favorable results. These findings suggest that Ca(3)Y2B(4)O(12):Sm(3+ )has great potential in the development of high temperature dosimetric materials for beta irradiation.
Structural and temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties of NaBaBO3:Ce3+,Tb3+phosphors synthesized using the combustion
(Elsevier, 2024) Altowyan, Abeer S.; Oglakci, M.; Topaksu, M.; Ozturk, E.; Hakami, Jabir; Coban, M. B.; Keskin, M. Ozgur
This study explores the structural and temperature-dependent photoluminescence of Ce3+ and Tb3+ doped NaBaBO3 phosphors, synthesized via combustion. Analysis of their crystal structures confirmed excellent alignment with the standard PDF#98-008-0110. Investigation into both room and lowtemperature photoluminescence revealed that the dopants have a significant effect on emission spectra. Ce3+-doped samples exhibited excitation peaks at 275 nm and 358 nm, leading to a primary emission at 419 nm, with enhanced low-temperature emission suggesting reduced non-radiative processes. Tb3+doped phosphors showed excitation from 250 to 377 nm and emissions from blue to deep red, including strong green emission at 550 nm due to 5D4?7F5 transitions. Optimal doping was found at 1 mol% for Ce3+, while Tb3+ showed increased luminescence up to 3 mol%, with concentration quenching observed beyond these points. The study indicates dipole-dipole interactions dominate Ce3+ concentration quenching, whereas Tb3+ involves both electric dipole and quadrupole interactions. This analysis provides insights into enhancing luminescent efficiency and suggests NaBaBO3:xCe3+,Tb3+ phosphors' potential in advancing white LED technology, highlighting their stable luminescent properties at low temperatures.

(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Souadi, G. O.; Akça Özalp, S.; Karalı, E. Ekdal; Kaynar, Ümit H.; Ayvacıklı, M.; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.
BaSiF6 phosphor was synthesized by a gel combustion method. The crystalline size was found to be 54.17 +/- 4.36 nm using Williamson-Hall (W-H) approximation. The TL data collected by means of a combination of a commercial BG39 and HC575/25 filters was studied to evaluate basic kinetic parameters. Three TL glow peaks of BaSiF6 phosphors are centered at around 84, 190 and 322 degrees C. T-m-T-stop, various heating rate (VHR) and computerized glow-curve deconvolution (CGCD) method were utilized to analyse collected data. Our findings indicate that luminescence process in scrutinized material may obey second order kinetics. The TL dose response of the TL glow peaks exhibits a linear characteristic up to 100 Gy. Deconvolution of the glow curve reveals that the number of the component TL glow peaks in the complex glow curve is composed of well-isolated six overlapping glow peaks. The FOM value is 2.32.

(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Altowyan, Abeer S.; Sonsuz, M.; Kaynar, U. H.; Hakami, Jabir; Portakal-Ucar, Z. G.; Ayvacikli, M.; Topaksu, M.
This study investigates the luminescent properties and dosimetric potential of YCa 4 O(BO 3 ) 3 :0.5%Sm 3+ phosphor synthesized via the combustion method. Dose -response investigations unveil a noteworthy linear increment in thermoluminescence (TL) intensity, emphasizing a remarkable linearity spanning a broad dose range from 0.1 to 300 Gy. Unusual heating rate effects are explored, revealing a shift in TL glow curve peak temperature (i.e 200 degrees C) towards higher temperatures with increasing heating rate. Speculative models, including Kinetic Trapping Effect, Thermal Quenching Compensation, and Defect Activation Energy Changes, are proposed. The study employs the T max - T stop method to identify characterize glow curve peaks, and the Initial Rise method for the lowtemperature segment analysis, revealing seven distinct trap levels at various depths within the bandgap. Glow curve deconvolution using the Complex Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD) method delineates a multi -peak structure, offering valuable insights into luminescent mechanisms. The model exhibits a Figure of Merit (FOM) of 1.71%, within an acceptable range, affirming its reliability. However, interpretation of the activation energy and frequency factor values suggests intricate site processes, necessitating a nuanced analysis to understand the material 's luminescent characteristics. The YCa 4 O(BO 3 ) 3 :0.5%Sm 3+ phosphor demonstrates promising characteristics for precise dosimetry, with linear dose response, absence of saturation effects, and intriguing heating rate behavior.

(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Souadi, G.; Kaynar, Ümit. Hüseyin; Oğlakçı, M.; Sonsuz, M.; Ayvacıklı, M.; Topaksu, M.; Canımoğlu, A.
Lithium molybdate (Li2MoO4) phosphor was synthesized by a gel combustion method and its thermoluminescence properties were studied with the irradiation of beta. Various Heating Rate (VHR), Initial Rise (IR), and Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD) methods were used to determine the kinetic parameters (activation energy E (eV), frequency factor s (s(-1)), and kinetic order b) of the visible glow peaks. According to the kinetic study, the TL glow curve is made up of seven separate peaks with activation energies of 1.05, 0.76, 0.40, 0.60, 0.78, 1.81 and 1.25 eV and these peaks follow general-order kinetics. The results clearly showed that undoped Li2MoO4 has a potential to be considered in dosimetric applications where high doses have to be monitored as in the case of clinical dosimetry.

(Elsevier, 2022) Hakami, J.; Sonsuz, M.; Kaynar, Ümit Hüseyin; Ayvacikli, M.; Oğlakçı, Mehmet; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.
In this study, thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of Ca3Y2B4O12:xDy (0 < x < 0.07) phosphor samples were studied. The samples were exposed to beta irradiation in the dose range from 0.1 Gy to 100 Gy to investigate TL dose response. The concentration of Dy3+ in Ca3Y2B4O12 phosphor was optimized and found to be 1 mass % in terms of TL signal quality. The TL glow curve appears to be consisted of three peaks which were discernible at 72 degrees C, 280 C and 376 degrees C. The trapping parameters (E, b, and s) were calculated using initial rise (IR), and variable heating rate (VHR) techniques. The trapping parameters, order of kinetics, frequency factor, and figure of merit have been all determined by means of the Glow Curve Deconvolution (GCD) method (tgcd:An R package). Ca3Y2B4O12:Dy phosphor displays efficient thermoluminescence properties.

(Elsevier, 2021) Bulcar, K.; Oğlakçı, M.; Kaynar, Ümit H.; Ayvacıklı, M.; Souadi, G. O.; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.
The present work elucidates thermoluminescence study of Dy activated lanthanum calcium borate (La2CaB10O19) phosphors and determination of trapping parameters. Two glow curves located at 132 and 295 degrees C were observed and showed a linear TL response. The kinetic parameters of the glow peaks were evaluated using variable heating rate, repeated initial rise method and Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution. Analysis of the main dosimetric peaks reveals that the values of the activation energy and pre-exponential factor are found to be 0.78-1.145 eV and 8.59 x 10(9)-8.44 x 10(11) s(-1), respectively. The sample doped with 1% Dy3+ exhibits a good stability for the reusability. Besides, the found results indicate that the temperature maximum shifts to the higher temperature side as the heating rate increases. Contrary to previously expressed theoretical expectations, anomalous heating rate dependence was observed in Dy3+ doped La2CaB10O19 sample and a semi-localized transition model explaining the anomalous heating rate effect was employed.

(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Hakami, J.; Sonsuz, M.; Kaynar, U. H.; Ayvacikli, M.; Oglakci, M.; Yueksel, M.; Topaksu, M.
Ca3Y2B4O12 (CBYO) phosphor was synthesized using a gel combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement confirmed a single-phase structure (space group Pnma (62)) of synthesized compound. TL measurements were conducted between room temperature (RT) and 450 degrees C at a heating rate of 2 degrees Cs-1. Significant glow peaks were observed at 64, 116, and 242 degrees C in CYBO phosphor sample exposed to different beta doses. In the range of 0.1-100 Gy, the TL intensity of the glow peak displayed good linearity. Different methods were employed to determine the number of peaks, the trap structure, and the kinetic parameters of the thermoluminescence glow curve of CBYO; the Hoogenstraaten method, various heating rates (VHR), and glow curve deconvolution method (CGCD) implemented through tgcd:An R package. Currently available findings confirm that CYBO host is a promising candidate for environmental studies because one exhibits adequate TL dose response coupled with a good sensitivity and linearity.
Thermoluminescence in GdAl3(BO3)4 phosphors: Unusual heating rate dependencies, dose responses and kinetic parameters
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Alajlani, Y.; Sonsuz, M.; Barad, A.; Kaynar, Uemit H.; Ayvacikli, M.; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.
The current study focuses on the production of GdAl3(BO3)4 (GAB) phosphors using gel combustion. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermoluminescent (TL) methods were used to investigate the structural and thermolu-minescence (TL) features of the samples. XRD results revealed that GAB phosphors were crystallized in a rhombohedral crystal system. TL experimental data exhibited an unusual heating rate behaviour, which was explained by the semi-localized transition model, and this provides valuable insight into the properties of the GAB sample. Beta-irradiated GAB hosts exhibit two primary peaks at 106 degrees C and 277 degrees C on their TL glow curves. We have employed a variety of heating rates (VHRs), TM-Tstop method, and computerized glow curve decon-volution (CGCD) techniques. By using a combination of these techniques, we can identify the kinetic parameters of the GAB samples more accurately, including peak numbers, activation energy, and frequency factors. Both Tm- Tstop and CGCD techniques produce similar results in terms of trap numbers and trap depths. In the trap centers, electrons were trapped at 1.05 eV, 0.84 eV, 1.12 eV, 1.20 eV, 1.42 eV, 1.63 eV and 1.42 eV. There was a linear behaviour of GAB samples over a dose range of 0.1 Gy-10 Gy. GAB phosphors did not show any significant changes in TL response with repeated irradiation cycles, suggesting that it is a reliable radiation dosimeter. GAB is therefore a potential candidate for radiotherapy dose measurement based on these findings.

(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Altowyan, Abeer S.; Sonsuz, M.; Kaynar, Umit H.; Hakami, Jabir; Ayvacikli, M.; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.
The ZnGa2O4 phosphor material was synthesised through the gel combustion method, and its structural characteristics were studied via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The XRD result indicates the generation of ZnGa2O4 in spinal cubic phase with a 25 nm crystalline size. The synthesized phosphor was irradiated using a90Sr/90Y source with a dose range of 0.1 Gy-100 Gy. For measuring thermoluminescence (TL), a linear heating rate of 2 degrees Cs ? 1 was applied to the sample in a temperature range of 25 degrees C-450 degrees C. The TL experiment revealed two peak maxima located at 180 degrees C and 304 degrees C and a shoulder around 70 degrees C. By preheating at 110 degrees C, the low temperature peak at 70 degrees C is removed. Both the depth and frequency factors of electron traps were determined using various heating rates (VHR), Tm-Tstop combined with initial rise (IR), and Computerised Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD). In both the Tm-Tstop and CGCD methods, six overlapping glow peaks were detected below the main glow peaks. The calculated activation energy values and peak maximum temperatures agree well with each other. The depths of electron traps calculated by different methods were found to be between 0.4 and 1.4 eV. We observed that both peak maximum temperatures and the area under glow peaks gradually decreased with an increase in the heating rate. Both Peak 1 and Peak 2 show sublinear relationship between 0.1-5Gy and 10-100 Gy. The findings of the present study show that the phosphors can serve as effective TLDs.
Thermoluminescence study and evaluation of trapping parameters of samarium doped barium silicate phosphor
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Alajlani, Y.; Oğlakçı, M.; Kaynar, Ümit H.; Ayvacıklı, M.; Portakal-Uçar, Z. G.; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.
We report the detailed analysis of thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves and the evaluation of kinetic parameters of Sm3+-incorporated BaSi(2)O(5.)The effect of various heating rates on TL kinetics and glow peak temperatures of Sm3+-doped BaSi2O5 phosphors exposed to beta particle irradiation at room temperature are investigated. The glow curve of the phosphor exposed to beta-irradiation consists of two main peaks with maxima at about 91 degrees C and 193 degrees C and exhibits good linearity between 1 and 10 Gy. The activation energies and frequency factors of trap centers involved in the TL emission were calculated from the TL glow curve of the sample by means of variable heating rate (VHR), repeated initial rise (RIR), and computerized glow-curve deconvolution (CGCD). Analysis of the main dosimetric peak techniques indicate that activation energies (E) and pre-exponential factor (s) vary between 0.93 and 1.72 eV, 10(10) and 10(13) s(-1). It is found that the temperature of the glow peaks shifts toward the higher temperatures and the TL intensity smoothly decreases as the heating rate increases. The behavior of the TL intensities and glow peak temperatures as a function of the heating rate are discussed with regards to thermal quenching.
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.
Unusual heating rates, dose responses and kinetic parameters detected on thermoluminescence from YAl3(BO3)4:Sm3+ phosphors
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Altowyan, Abeer S.; Kaynar, Umit H.; Bulcar, K.; Oglakci, M.; Portakal-Ucar, Z. G.; Hakami, Jabir; Topaksu, M.
This study focused on the thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of YAl3(BO3)(4) (YAB) phosphors modified with various contents of Sm3+ ions. The TL response of the YAB: Sm3+ phosphors exposed to beta irradiation was measured across the temperature range of 25-500 degrees C, exhibiting three TL maxima at 70, 235, and 408 degrees C. Preheating protocol was also carried out to remove the low temperature TL peak followed by further experiments with the two-remaining high-temperature peaks. In the TL measurements conducted with variable heating rates (HR) between 0.1 and 5 degrees Cs-1, an anomalous heating rate behaviour was observed. A semi-localized transition model was used to address this feature. There was a standard deviation of less than 5% in the reusability measurements. The results of the kinetic parameters obtained by initial rise (IR) and various heating rate (VHR) methods were compared with those obtained by glow curve deconvolution (GCD) method. T-m-T-stop analysis revealed a continuous distribution of trap levels with a trap depth ranging from 1.35 to 2.20 eV. Through the use of GCD, the glow curve was found to demonstrate general order kinetics and consist of seven superimposed traps. The values of the kinetic parameters obtained for the glow curve agreed with those obtained by other methods excluding the VHR method encountering an anomalous impact. The results obtained from these tests showed that the sample could be successfully used for TL dosimetry applications.
