    Synthesis and Thermoluminescence Properties of Rare Earth Oxides (y, Ce-Lu) Doped Lithium Triborate
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Depci, Tolga; Ozbayoglu, Gulhan; Yilmaz, Aysen
    Lithium triborate (LiB(3)O(5)) was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method, and then rare earth oxides were doped into LiB(3)O(5) to enhance its thermoluminescent (TL) properties. The identification and characteristics of the obtained compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses, differential thermal analyses (DTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The glow curves were obtained using a thermoluminescent (TL) reader. The results revealed that all the rare earth oxides were not good activators for lithium triborate and the obtained compounds could not be used for dosimetric applications.
