Abstract

The suitable choice of an activator and host combination is essential for synthesizing very sensitive thermoluminescence phosphors. In addition, conspicuous synthesis variables must be optimized to achieve the maximal
response. The research presented herein shows that the most recommendable conditions to improve the thermoluminescence response of beta irradiated Gd1-xEuxAlO3 phosphors were: x = 0.02 for europium stoichiometry and 1500 ◦C for the calcination temperature. The glow curve recorded for the most sensitive phosphor was partially erased by photo-bleaching, and thus, should yield optically stimulated luminescence.
