Abstract
AbstractSamples of microcrystalline rare earth‐doped magnesium borate materials were synthesized via modified solid‐state diffusion and were characterized using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Photoluminescence (PL) results for the MgB4O7:Dy sample depicts blue emission that resulted from a 4F9/2–6H15/2 transition that peaked at 484 nm, which was much stronger than the yellow emission arising due to the 4F9/2–6H13/2 transition at 576 nm. From the emission spectra for MgB4O7:Tb, it seems that at higher concentrations of Tb3+ ion, the green emission becomes strong and directly relates to the energy transfer from the 5D3 excited state to the 5D4 excited state through a cross‐relaxation, whereas the blue emission is suppressed in MgB4O7 phosphors. The thermoluminescence (TL) of the samples was measured immediately after irradiation and compared by TL curve with CaSO4:Dy. MgB4O7:Dy showed very good TL sensitivity for the desirable dosimetric curve at ~218°C and the best glow curve structure. In comparison with the dosimetric peaks for MgB4O7:Ce and MgB4O7:Tb, the MgB4O7:Dy phosphor is equally sensitive to CaSO4:Dy. MgB4O7:Dy and MgB4O7:Tb showed linearity for a 1–5 kGy dose. The activation energies and frequency factors were also calculated for samples MgB4O7:RE (where RE = Dy, Tb, Ce) using the peak shape method.
