Abstract

This paper reports the optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) response of ZrO2 to beta and ultraviolet radiations in order to investigate the potential use of this material as a radiation dosimeter. The experimentally obtained OSL decay curves were analyzed using the computerized curve de-convolution (CCD) method. It was found that the OSL curve structure, for the short (practical) illumination time used, consists of three first order components. The individual OSL dose response behavior of each component was found. The values of the time at the OSL peak maximum and the decay constant of each component were also estimated.
