effect of cobalt-60 radiation on thermoluminescence properties of copper doped and terbium doped sodium magnesium borate

This thesis presents the investigation of thermoluminescence (TL) properties of copper (Cu) doped and terbium (Tb) doped sodium magnesium borate (NaMgBO3) as a thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) material. Undoped NaMgBO3 and two doped samples with various concentrations of dopant Cu (0.1- 0.5 mol%)...
