Correlation between thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence signal in BeO.
Radiat. Meas. 170:107049 (2024)
Beryllium Oxide (BeO) is a promising dosimetric material that is rapidly becoming an essential instrument in Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dosimetry applications. Despite the potential of BeO as a luminescence dosimeter, gaps remain in understanding how its Thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) signals are connected. Our study aimed at examining Residual Thermoluminescence (R-TL) glow curves after various bleaching times to find an association between TL traps and OSL components across a wide range of doses, at 40 mGy and from 10 to 100 Gy. OSL decay curves and intensities of R-TL glow curves were fitted to either pure exponential decay functions or to stretched exponential decay functions, due to optical attenuation, to determine the OSL components and the bleaching decay rates of each TL peak, respectively. A good correlation between the decay rates of the OSL components and bleaching decay rates of each TL peak for both high and low-dose irradiations was found only for the model functions considering optical attenuation in the material. Taken together, this qualitative method helped to identify various traps, and results revealed a more consistent luminescence mechanism between TL and OSL signals than was previously assumed. Further support for the correlation between TL and OSL was derived from thermal stability studies of the OSL signal and from the dose response of the TL peaks and the OSL signal after different thermal pretreatments. Different bleaching models were discussed to define the appropriate one for BeO. These results may enhance our understanding of BeO as a dosimeter.
