dc.description.abstractThe current study focuses on the production of GdAl3(BO3)4 (GAB) phosphors using gel combustion. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermoluminescent (TL) methods were used to investigate the structural and thermoluminescence (TL) features of the samples. XRD results revealed that GAB phosphors were crystallized in a rhombohedral crystal system. TL experimental data exhibited an unusual heating rate behaviour, which was explained by the semi-localized transition model, and this provides valuable insight into the properties of the GAB sample. Beta-irradiated GAB hosts exhibit two primary peaks at 106 °C and 277 °C on their TL glow curves. We have employed a variety of heating rates (VHRs), TM-Tstop method, and computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) techniques. By using a combination of these techniques, we can identify the kinetic parameters of the GAB samples more accurately, including peak numbers, activation energy, and frequency factors. Both Tm-Tstop and CGCD techniques produce similar results in terms of trap numbers and trap depths. In the trap centers, electrons were trapped at 1.05 eV, 0.84 eV, 1.12 eV, 1.20 eV, 1.42 eV, 1.63 eV and 1.42 eV. There was a linear behaviour of GAB samples over a dose range of 0.1 Gy–10 Gy. GAB phosphors did not show any significant changes in TL response with repeated irradiation cycles, suggesting that it is a reliable radiation dosimeter. GAB is therefore a potential candidate for radiotherapy dose measurement based on these findings. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
