Item Reply to comments on 'effect of heating rate on kinetic parameters of β-irradiated Li2B4O7:Cu,Ag,P in TSL measurements'(2009) Ege A.; Tekin E.; Can N.; Prokić M.We appreciate the opportunity to respond to comments regarding the paper published by Ege et al (2007 Effect of heating rate on kinetic parameters of β-irradiated Li2B4O7:Cu,Ag,P in TSL measurements Meas. Sci. Technol. 18 889). We would like to thank the authors for taking the time to tell us about their opinion, but unfortunately we do not agree with them completely. In the article presented by Kumar and Chourasiya some comment is advanced to the analysis of the glow curves measured with different heating rates, presented in our recent study. According to our study, the area under the glow curve decreases with increasing heating rate in TL-temperature plots due to the quenching effects. Contrary to this, Kumar and Chourasiya suggest that this decrease is due to the normalization process. Here we hope to clarify any confusion regarding our published study. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.Item Synthesis and optical properties of Er3 and Eu3 doped SrAl2O4 phosphor ceramic(2011) Ayvacikli M.; Ege A.; Yerci S.; Can N.We report, for the first time on luminescence from a Er3 doped SrAl2O4 phosphor. Effects of Eu3 doping were also studied. The influence of rare-earth doping in crystal structure and its optical properties were analysed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, optical absorption, excitation and emission (PL) spectroscopy, thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Luminescence spectra and luminescence decay curves for Er3 transitions in the near infrared region were recorded. The PL maximum for Eu doped SrAl2O4 is obtained at 620 nm and corresponds to the orange region of the spectrum. Diffraction patterns reveal a dominant phase, characteristic of the monoclinic SrAl2O4 compound and the presence of dopants has no effect on the basic crystal structure of SrAl 2O4. The shapes of the glow curves are different for each dopant irradiated with either a 90Sr90Y beta source, or UV light at 311 nm, and in detail the TL signals differ somewhat between Er and Eu dopants. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The main peak at 530 K was analyzed using the Tmax-Tstop method and was found to be composed of at least five overlapping glow peaks. A curve-fitting program was used to perform computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) analysis of the complex peak of the dosimetric material of interest. The kinetic parameters, namely activation energy (E) and frequency factor (s), associated with the main glow peak of CaB4O7:Dy at 520 K were evaluated using peak shape (PS) and isothermal luminescence decay (ILD) methods. In addition, the kinetics was determined to be first order (b =1) by applying the additive dose method. The activation energies and frequency factors obtained using PS and ILD methods are calculated to be 0.72 and 0.72 eV and 8.76 × 105 and 1.44 × 106/s, respectively.

Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Item Thermoluminescence characterization of Ag-doped Li2B4O7 single crystal materials(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2017) Kuralı D.; Ekdal Karalı E.; Kelemen A.; Holovey V.; Can N.; Karalı T.In this study, the thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of Ag-doped and undoped lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7, LTB) materials, grown using the Czochralski method, were reported. The TL properties of LTB:Ag, such as glow curve structure, dose response, fading and reproducibility, were investigated. The glow curve of the Li2B4O7:Ag single crystal consists of four peaks located at approximately 75, 130, 190 and 275°C; in undoped LTB, the single crystal shows a broad glow curve with peaks at 65, 90, 125, 160 and 190°C using a heating rate of 5°C/s in the 50–350°C temperature region. The high temperature peak of Ag-doped sample at 275°C has a nonlinear dose response within the range from 33 mGy to 9 Gy. There is a linear response in the range of 33–800 mGy; after which, a sublinear region appears up to 9 Gy for Ag-doped LTB single crystal. For undoped single crystal, the dose response is supralinear for low doses and linear for the region between 1 and 9 Gy. The thermal fading ratio of the undoped material is almost 60% for the high temperature peak after 7 days. Ag-doped LTB single crystal exhibits different behaviour over a period of 7 days. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Item Thermoluminescence analysis of beta irradiated ZnB 2 O 4 : Pr 3+ phosphors synthesized by a wet-chemical method(Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Akca S.; Oglakci M.; Portakal Z.G.; Kucuk N.; Bakr M.; Topaksu M.; Can N.In this paper we describe the thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of ZnB 2 O 4 :Pr 3+ phosphors with Pr concentrations varying between 0.2 and 1 mol% prepared by a wet-chemical method. The TL glow curves of the phosphor sample consisted of three peaks located at 71 °C (P1), 124 °C (P2) and 233 °C (P3). The TL intensity increased with the beta dose ranging from ∼0.1 to ∼20 Gy. Dose response, reproducibility and trapping parameters of TL glow curves were evaluated to clearly reveal thermoluminescence features. We observed that TL intensity of P2 and P3 peaks decreases as the heating rate increases. Trap parameters were estimated via the Hoogenstraaten, Booth-Bohun-Parfianovitch, the initial rise methods combined with T m −T stop experiment and TLanal CGCD program. Heating rates were varied to use in the Hoogenstraaten analyses. The T m −T stop investigations on regenerated TL signals for P1 and P2 peaks indicated that ZnB 2 O 4 :Pr 3+ phosphor has four electron trap levels with energy values in the range of 0.5–1.5 eV These four traps have first order kinetic and are formed at high temperature region. Resulting values are utilized as a reference for the CGCD procedure and the trapping parameters from the TL glow curves are calculated. The figure of merit (FOM) of the TL glow curve during curve fitting procedures is found to be 2.019%. The intensities of the main dosimetric peaks appeared at 124 °C and 233 °C exhibits good linear dose response up to 20 Gy. These results provide valuable knowledge for use of the characteristics of Pr doped ZnB 2 O 4 in dosimetry research, just need to eliminate low temperature TL peak. © 2019 Elsevier LtdItem Structural and analyses of thermoluminescence glow curves in Sm doped SrGd2O4 phosphor(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Sarıkcı S.; Topaksu M.; Bakr M.; Can N.In this study, SrGd2O4: xSm3+ (x = 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%) phosphors were synthesized using solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements confirmed a orthorhombic structure (space group Pnam (62)) of synthesized compounds. Following irradiation with 10 Gy beta dose, the sample doped with 0.5% Sm exhibited the highest integrated thermoluminescence (TL) intensity with the IRSL-TL wideband blue filter. In order to evaluate dose-response, samples were irradiated with beta radiation for 0.1–10 Gy. The Hoogenstraaten's method, the initial rise method, combined with the TM-Tstop experiment, and glow curve fitting package were employed to determine the number of peaks, the trap structure, and the kinetic parameters of the thermoluminescence glow curve of Sm doped SrGd2O4. Based on the glow curve deconvolution obtained using software package, the component TL glow peaks present in the complex glow curve are composed of well-isolated five overlapping glow peaks. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Item Anomalous heating rate dependence and analyses of thermoluminescence glow curves in Gd doped ZnB2O4 phosphors(Elsevier B.V., 2022) Atasöz S.; Topaksu M.; Souadi G.; Can N.Here, we report the thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics and trapping parameters under beta ray excitations of pelletized Gd-incorporated ZnB2O4 synthesized through the gel combustion method. The chemical composition of the obtained Gd incorporated ZnB2O4 was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The best doping concentration of Gd was 0.25 mass%, which resulted in the highest luminous efficiency. The glow curves of the pellet-formed samples exposed to β-irradiation at various doses showed glow peaks at about 79 °C, 133 °C and 276 °C with a heating rate of 2 °Cs−1. An anomalous heating rate effect was observed for the peak centered at 276 °C, but the TL intensity of the peak at 79 °C and 133 °C decreased with an increasing heating rate. The TL glow peaks were studied using Tm-Tstop, initial rise (IR), and variable heating rate (VHR) and Computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) methods. In the range of 0.1–50 Gy, the total integral values of TL output increased linearly with increased dose. A complex glow curves are composed of six distinguishable peaks as revealed by the results obtained from IR and CGCD methods. The current results indicate that the ZnB2O4:Gd3+ phosphor is a suitable option in radiation dosimetry for environmental monitoring. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Item Thermoluminescence glow curve analysis of Ca3Y2B4O12 phosphor prepared using combustion method(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Hakami J.; Sonsuz M.; Kaynar U.H.; Ayvacikli M.; Oglakci M.; Yüksel M.; Topaksu M.; Can N.Ca3Y2B4O12 (CBYO) phosphor was synthesized using a gel combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement confirmed a single-phase structure (space group Pnma (62)) of synthesized compound. TL measurements were conducted between room temperature (RT) and 450 °C at a heating rate of 2 °Cs−1. Significant glow peaks were observed at 64, 116, and 242 °C in CYBO phosphor sample exposed to different beta doses. In the range of 0.1–100 Gy, the TL intensity of the glow peak displayed good linearity. Different methods were employed to determine the number of peaks, the trap structure, and the kinetic parameters of the thermoluminescence glow curve of CBYO; the Hoogenstraaten method, various heating rates (VHR), and glow curve deconvolution method (CGCD) implemented through tgcd:An R package. Currently available findings confirm that CYBO host is a promising candidate for environmental studies because one exhibits adequate TL dose response coupled with a good sensitivity and linearity. © 2022 Elsevier LtdItem Thermoluminescence kinetic parameters of yttrium niobate(Elsevier GmbH, 2022) Ege A.; Özkan A.Yttrium niobate (YNbO4) phosphorus produced using the solid-state technique by sintering at 1200 °C investigated for thermoluminescence (TL) kinetics after irradiated with ultraviolet radiation (UV). The TL glow curve of UV irradiated yttrium niobate phosphorus recorded with a heating rate of 2 Ks−1 exhibited glow peaks at 366 and 424 K. The TL kinetic parameters belonging to main glow peak (424 K) of yttrium niobate phosphor, namely trap energy (E), frequency factor (s) and kinetic order (b) were investigated using Various Heating Rates (VHR), Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD), and Chen's Peak Shape (PS) methods after exposure to UV radiation. Trap energies of the phosphor by all methods were calculated as 1.09 eV. The frequency factors of the phosphor by CGCD, VHR and Chen's PS methods were obtained as 0.96 × 1012 s−1, 1.38 × 1012 s−1 and 0.98 × 1012 s−1, respectively. The results attained by all methods are discussed and compared. © 2022 Elsevier GmbHItem Synthesis and beta particle excited thermoluminescence of BaSiF6 phosphor(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Souadi G.; Akca-Ozalp S.; Ekdal Karali E.; Kaynar U.H.; Ayvacikli M.; Topaksu M.; Can N.BaSiF6 phosphor was synthesized by a gel combustion method. The crystalline size was found to be 54.17 ± 4.36 nm using Williamson-Hall (W–H) approximation. The TL data collected by means of a combination of a commercial BG39 and HC575/25 filters was studied to evaluate basic kinetic parameters. Three TL glow peaks of BaSiF6 phosphors are centered at around 84, 190 and 322 °C. Tm-Tstop, various heating rate (VHR) and computerized glow-curve deconvolution (CGCD) method were utilized to analyse collected data. Our findings indicate that luminescence process in scrutinized material may obey second order kinetics. The TL dose response of the TL glow peaks exhibits a linear characteristic up to 100 Gy. Deconvolution of the glow curve reveals that the number of the component TL glow peaks in the complex glow curve is composed of well-isolated six overlapping glow peaks. The FOM value is 2.32. © 2021Item Thermoluminescence glow curve analysis and kinetic parameters of Eu doped Li2MoO4 ceramic phosphors(Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Souadi G.; Oglakci M.; Kaynar U.H.; Correcher V.; Benavente J.F.; Bulcar K.; Ayvacikli M.; Hiziroglu A.; Topaksu M.; Can N.; Karali E.E.LiMoO4: x Eu ceramic phosphors with x = 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 mol% were synthesized using a gel combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements confirmed a rhombohedral structure (space group R3) of synthesized compounds. Following irradiation with 50 Gy beta dose, the sample doped with 5 mol% Eu exhibited the highest integrated thermoluminescence (TL) intensity. In order to evaluate dose-response, samples were irradiated with beta radiation for 10–1000 Gy. TL intensity with 1000 Gy dose without saturation yielded the highest integrated value. Different methods were employed to determine the number of peaks, the trap structure, and the kinetic parameters of the thermoluminescence glow curve of Eu doped Li2MoO4: the Hoogenstraaten method, the Booth-Bohun-Parfianovitch method, the initial rise method (IR), combined with the TM-Tstop experiment, various heating rates (VHR), and glow curve fitting with two different software packages. Based on the glow curve deconvolution obtained using both software packages, the component TL glow peaks present in the complex glow curve are composed of well-isolated nine overlapping glow peaks. Two software packages have shown quite similar activation energies and frequency factors. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.Item Samarium doped Ca3Y2B4O12 phosphor prepared by combustion method: Anomalous heating rate effect, dosimetric features, and TL kinetic analyses(Elsevier B.V., 2022) Hakami J.; Oglakci M.; Portakal-Uçar Z.G.; Sonsuz M.; Kaynar U.H.; Ayvacikli M.; Topaksu M.; Can N.The structural and thermoluminescence characteristics of samarium doped Ca3Y2B4O12 samples at various concentrations are presented. The samples were synthesized via the combustion method. The thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves for Ca3Y2B4O12:Sm3+ depict strong peaks at 97 and 410 °C. Ca3Y2B4O12:Sm3+ exhibited completely opposite behavior, contrary to expectations, in that the luminescence intensity of both the total and individual glow peaks increased with the heating rate throughout the TL experiments. This unusual TL glow peak pattern was discussed via the Mandowski model of semi-localized transitions. The kinetic characteristics of both prominent glow peaks were established using various analysis techniques, including variable heating rate, initial rise (IR) by using the TM-Tstop method and the fractional glow technique (FGT), and computerized glow curve deconvolution (GCD). The dose response of the high temperature peak at 410 °C is linear between 0.1 and 5 Gy, and then sublinear at higher doses. In addition, the repeatability and fading results of 410 °C TL peak also yielded very favorable results. These findings suggest that Ca3Y2B4O12:Sm3+ has great potential in the development of high temperature dosimetric materials for beta irradiation. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Item Thermoluminescence characterization and kinetic parameters of Dy3+ activated Ca3Y2B4O12(Elsevier B.V., 2022) Hakami J.; Sonsuz M.; Kaynar U.H.; Ayvacikli M.; Oglakci M.; Topaksu M.; Can N.In this study, thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of Ca3Y2B4O12:xDy (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.07) phosphor samples were studied. The samples were exposed to beta irradiation in the dose range from 0.1 Gy to 100 Gy to investigate TL dose response. The concentration of Dy3+ in Ca3Y2B4O12 phosphor was optimized and found to be 1 mass % in terms of TL signal quality. The TL glow curve appears to be consisted of three peaks which were discernible at 72 °C, 280 °C and 376 °C. The trapping parameters (E, b, and s) were calculated using initial rise (IR), and variable heating rate (VHR) techniques. The trapping parameters, order of kinetics, frequency factor, and figure of merit have been all determined by means of the Glow Curve Deconvolution (GCD) method (tgcd:An R package). Ca3Y2B4O12:Dy phosphor displays efficient thermoluminescence properties. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Item Anomalous dose behaviour of thermoluminescence glow curves and kinetic analysis of beta irradiated YAl3(BO3)4:Tb phosphor(Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Souadi G.; Bulcar K.; Kaynar Ü.H.; Ayvacikli M.; Topaksu M.; Cam-Kaynar S.; Can N.With the aid of thermoluminescence (TL), we have extensively studied YAl3(BO3)4 host matrices incorporated with Tb3+ at different doping contents, which have been produced by combustion. The measured the TL glow curves exposed to beta rays at different doses consisted of four broad peaks located at around 76, 126, 230, and 378 °C. The peak maximum of the 230 °C TL peak shifts toward higher temperatures after 5 Gy beta irradiation while the other peak maxima almost remain constant. It is peculiar that 230 °C peak maximum shifts to higher temperatures with increased radiation dose and can be attributed to the multiple phases of the sample. A TL glow curve exhibits a proportional increase in intensity with increased the heating rate. A discussion of the possible causes of this pattern is provided. Observed peaks using the Tm─Tstop method are due to the presence of a quasi-continuous distribution of traps. The parameters of the traps have also been estimated using various heating rate methods in excellent agreement with one another. © 2023 Elsevier LtdItem Comparison of thermoluminescence characteristics of undoped and europium doped YAl3(BO3)4 phosphor synthesized by combustion method: Anomalous heating rate, dose response and kinetic analyses(Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Kaynar Ü.H.; Oglakci M.; Bulcar K.; Benourdja S.; Bakr M.; Ayvacikli M.; Canimoglu A.; Topaksu M.; Can N.In this study, undoped and YAl3(BO3)4 phosphors doped with Eu3+ at varying concentrations (x = 0.5 to 7 wt%) produced by a combustion process have been thoroughly examined by using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermoluminescence (TL) techniques. The crystallized phosphors were confirmed by XRD analysis, and its crystal structure was examined. XRD analyses of the synthesized phosphor is in accordance with ICSD File No 96-152-6006. TL glow curve of undoped sample produced three glow peaks located at 80 °C, 240 °C, and 360 °C with a heating rate of 2°Cs−1 whilst Eu3+ doped one appears at 90 °C, 230 °C, and 390 °C. The undoped example complied with the theory as expected, namely, as the heating rate increased, the TL glow curve shifted towards lower temperatures and decreased in intensity. However, an anomalous change was observed in the sample with Eu3+ additive. The experimental findings from the dose-response of YAl3(BO3)4:0.5 wt%Eu3+ demonstrate that the intensity of TL provided by the total area under glow curves has an acceptable linearity (r2:0.999) up to 100 Gy. The intensity of each maximum on the TL glow curve augments proportionally as the heating rate is augmented. Possible reasons of this behaviour are discussed. Various heating rate (VHR) methods (such as Hoogenstraaten's and Booth-Bohun-Parfianovitch) have also been used to estimate kinetic parameters (e.g., energy and frequency factor), which seem to be in good agreement with each other. © 2022 Elsevier LtdItem Thermoluminescence Kinetic Parameters and Radioluminescence of RE3+ (RE = Pr, Sm, Tb, Ho, Er)-Doped Barium Tantalate Phosphors(Springer, 2023) Keskin İ.Ç.; İlhan M.The thermoluminescence (TL) kinetic parameters and radioluminescence results (RL) of RE3+ (RE = Pr, Sm, Tb, Ho, Er)-doped barium tantalate phosphors have been studied for different concentrations. The concentration quenching occurring at the RL intensity of Pr3+ after 1.5 mol% was associated with a cross-relaxation between 3P0 → 3H4 and 1D2 → 3H4, while the RL emissions of Tb3+ were observed corresponding to transitions of5D4 → 7FJ. The asymmetry ratio of RL is relatively high compared to the PL asymmetry ratio for Sm3+, which may be attributed to the RL mechanism leading to some decrease in the local symmetry of Sm3+ ions. The Ho3+ and Er3+ show the characteristic green and red emissions corresponding to radiative transitions. Also, the spectral properties of the phosphors have been discussed by comparing the RL results, the reported PL results of Pr3+, Sm3+, Ho3+, Er3+ , and the PL results of Tb3+ , which were examined in the study. After being irradiated by x-ray and short-wave UV light (254 nm), TL glow curves for Pr3+, Tb3+, and Er3+ doped phosphors were compared in the range of 50 °C and 400 °C at a heating rate of 2 °C s−1. TL glow peaks for Pr3+, Tb3+, and Er3+ formed at temperatures of 77 °C and 208 °C, 87 °C and 263 °C, and 158 °C and 267 C, respectively. The kinetic data were estimated by applying computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) where TL glow curves of BaTa2O6:RE3+ (RE = Pr, Tb, Er) consist of 5, 6, and 7 estimated glow peaks with figure-of-merit values of 1.06, 1.60, and 1.09, respectively. © 2023, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.Item Beta irradiation-induced thermoluminescence: Glow curve analysis and kinetic parameters in combustion-synthesized undoped Ca4YO(BO3)3(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Madkhli A.Y.; Jabali D.A.; Souadi G.; Sonsuz M.; Kaynar U.H.; Akça-Özalp S.; Ayvacikli M.; Madkhali O.; Topaksu M.; Can N.This study examines the thermoluminescent (TL) properties of undoped Ca4YO(BO3)3 phosphor, focusing on how it behaves under a variety of experimental conditions. The IRSL-TL 565 nm was chosen as the appropriate detection filter among various optical detection filter combinations. During the preheating trials conducted at a rate of 2 °C/s, the TL peak exhibited increased intensity, particularly around 200 °C. The experimental outcomes demonstrated a reliable linear relationship (R2 = 0.996 and b = 1.015) in the dose response of undoped preheated Ca4YO(BO3)3 within the range of 1–200 Gy. The investigation encompasses a range of techniques, including the TM-Tstop method, computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) analysis, and theoretical modelling. The application of the TM-Tstop method to samples irradiated with a 5 Gy dose revealed distinct zones on the TM versus Tstop diagram, signifying the presence of at least two discernible components within the TL glow curve, specifically, a single general order kinetics peak and a continuous distribution. The analysis of activation energy versus preheated temperature exhibited a stepwise curve, indicating five trap levels with depths ranging between 1.13 eV and 1.40 eV. The CGCD method also revealed the superposition of at least five distinct TL glow peaks. It was observed that their activation energies were consistent with the Tm-Tstop experiment. Furthermore, the low Figure of Merit (FOM) value of 1.18% indicates high reliability in the goodness-of-fit measure. These findings affirm the reliability and effectiveness of the employed methods in characterizing the TL properties of the Ca4YO(BO3)3 phosphor under investigation. Theoretical models, including the semi-localized transition model, were introduced to explain anomalous observations in TL glow peak intensities and heating rate patterns. While providing a conceptual framework, these models may require adjustments to accurately capture the specific characteristics uncovered through CGCD analysis. As a potential application, the study suggests that the characterized TL properties of Ca4YO(BO3)3 phosphor could be utilized in dosimetric applications, such as radiation dose measurements, owing to its reliable linear response within a broad dose range. © 2024 Elsevier LtdItem Synthesis and thermoluminescence behavior of novel Sm3+ doped YCa4O(BO3)3 under beta irradiation(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Altowyan A.S.; Sonsuz M.; Kaynar U.H.; Hakami J.; Portakal-Uçar Z.G.; Ayvacikli M.; Topaksu M.; Can N.This study investigates the luminescent properties and dosimetric potential of YCa4O(BO3)3:0.5%Sm3+ phosphor synthesized via the combustion method. Dose-response investigations unveil a noteworthy linear increment in thermoluminescence (TL) intensity, emphasizing a remarkable linearity spanning a broad dose range from 0.1 to 300 Gy. Unusual heating rate effects are explored, revealing a shift in TL glow curve peak temperature (i.e 200 °C) towards higher temperatures with increasing heating rate. Speculative models, including Kinetic Trapping Effect, Thermal Quenching Compensation, and Defect Activation Energy Changes, are proposed. The study employs the Tmax-Tstop method to identify characterize glow curve peaks, and the Initial Rise method for the low-temperature segment analysis, revealing seven distinct trap levels at various depths within the bandgap. Glow curve deconvolution using the Complex Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD) method delineates a multi-peak structure, offering valuable insights into luminescent mechanisms. The model exhibits a Figure of Merit (FOM) of 1.71%, within an acceptable range, affirming its reliability. However, interpretation of the activation energy and frequency factor values suggests intricate site processes, necessitating a nuanced analysis to understand the material's luminescent characteristics. The YCa4O(BO3)3:0.5%Sm3+ phosphor demonstrates promising characteristics for precise dosimetry, with linear dose response, absence of saturation effects, and intriguing heating rate behavior. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
