Lyoluminescence in Ce 3+ activated (KNa)Br phosphor for ionizing radiation dosimetry

Abstract

The lyoluminescence (LL) in γ -ray irradiated (KNa)Br : Ce 3+ phosphors are reported in this paper. LL of (KNa)Br : Ce 3+ have been recorded for different γ -ray doses. The nature of variations of LL peak intensities is found to be linear with γ -ray irradiation dose and LL peak intensity is found to be dependent on concentrations (0·1-10 mol%) of added Ce 3+ ions in the (KNa)Br host lattice. Negligible fading in the prepared sample is observed. © Indian Academy of Sciences.
