Öğe Comparative studies on thermoluminescence characteristics of non-doped Mg2SiO4 prepared via a solid-state reaction technique and wet-chemical method: An unusual heating rate dependence(Elsevier Science Sa, 2019) Dogan, T.; Akca, S.; Yuksel, M.; Kucuk, N.; Ayvacikli, M.; Karabulut, Y.; Canimoglu, A.Magnesium orthosilicate (Mg2SiO4) was synthesized via a traditional solid-state reaction and a wet chemical route. This study primarily reported the thermoluminescence (TL) behavior of Mg2SiO4 host. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed that Mg2SiO4 exhibits orthorhombic structure matched with JCPDS card 900-6398. Dose response, reproducibility and trap parameters of TL glow curves were evaluated to clearly reveal TL features. Two TL glow peaks situated at 81 degrees C and 192 degrees C were monitored at a heating rate of 2 degrees Cs-1. We observed anomalous heating rate effect for the peak centered at 192 degrees C whilst TL intensity of the peak at 81 degrees C decreases with elevating heating rate. Trap depths of the electrons within the trap centers were found to be 1.04 +/- 0.01eV and 1.37 +/- 0.01eV for both methods using peak shape (PS) method. Distribution of trap centers was examined using the T-max - T-stop method and this case indicated that the glow curves consist of single TL peaks. The intensity of TL glow curves exhibited a good linear dose response under total area up to 20 Gy. A comparison of the two preparation techniques revealed that TL characteristics of this phosphor are partly dependent and Mg2SiO4 could be a promising material for dosimetric application.

G.; Karabulut, Y.; Can, N.In this study, ZnB2O4:xSm(3+) (0.01 <= x <= 0.05 mol) powder phosphors have been synthesized by low temperature chemical synthesis method. The structure and morphological observation of the phosphor samples were systematically monitored by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) coupled to an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The all diffraction peaks are well assigned to standard data card (PDF#39-1126). Emission properties of the samples were explored using light emission induced by an electron beam (i.e cathodoluminescence, CL) at room temperature (RT). When excited with electron beam, CL spectral measurements of scrutinized phosphors exhibit orange-red luminescence at 572 nm, 606 nm and 658 nm due to various transition from ground state to H-6(5/2),H-6(7/2) and (4)G(5/2) states, respectively. The transition (4)G(5/2) -> H-6(7/2) located at 606 nm can occur as hypersensitive transition having the selection rule Delta J = +/- 1. The observed peaks are in the region of yellow reddish light of Sm3+. Experimental results verify that the optimum Sm3+ content in terms of intense luminescence for this series of phosphors was 2%. Beyond 2% of Sm3+ ions concentration, luminescence quenching occurs due to an enhanced probability of the energy transfer from one Sm3+ to another that matches in energy via cross-relaxation and dipole-dipole interactions according to Dexter theory. A suitable energy transfer model between two adjacent Sm3+ ions in the ZnB2O4 phosphors was accomplished by the electric dipole-dipole interaction. The critical transfer distance (R-c) for non-radiative energy transfer was found to be 21.52 angstrom at 2 mol % Sm3+ doped ZnB2O4. Additionally, thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves of undoped and Sm activated ZnB2O4 under beta irradiation of 10 Gy are also discussed here. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

G.; Dogan, T.; Yegen, S. Balci; Kucuk, N.; Ayvacikli, M.; Garcia Guine, J.; Canimoglu, A.We have synthesized powder samples of Dy3+ doped zinc borates by nitric acid method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) techniques were utilized to examine the structure and morphological observation of the samples. Luminescence characteristics of the samples were investigated using room temperature (RT) cathodoluminescence (CL) and radioluminescence (RL) measurements under excitation with electron beam and X-rays, respectively. The presence of small amounts of Dy3+ incorporated in the host lattice does not affect the structure of the prepared samples remarkably. The CL and RL spectra showed the characteristic emissions of Dy3+ (magnetic dipole transition of F-4(9/2) -> H-6(11/2) Blue; forced electric dipole transition of F-4(9/2) > H-6(13/2) Yellow; F-4(9/2) -> H-6(1/2) Red; F-4(9/2) -> (H-6(9/2) + H-6(11/2)) infrared). Thermoluminescence (TL) method was also conducted to determine the effects of various concentrations of Dy3+ on the TL properties of ZnB2O4. The TL glow peak of beta irradiated ZnB2O4:Dy3+ phosphors is a well-defined and centered at around 96 degrees C with a constant heating rate of 2 degrees C/s. Initial rise method was employed to observed main TL glow curve for determining the activation energy (E-a) and the frequency factor (s).Öğe Luminescence studies of zinc borates activated with different concentrations of Ce and La under x-ray and electron excitation(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017) Kucuk, N.; Ayvacikli, M.; Akca, S.; Yuksel, M.; Garcia Guinea, J.; Karabulut, Y.; Canimoglu, A.Several ZnB2O4 powder samples having dopants concentrations of 0.1, 0.01, 0.04 wt% Ce and La were prepared using the nitric acid method via the starting oxides. Several complementary methods such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analyses environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), Radioluminescence (RL) and Cathodoluminescence (CL) techniques were used. Unique luminescence properties of Ce doped ZnB2O4 powder samples are reported for the first time. A new luminescence bands appearing in red part of the spectrum and having all the characteristics of Ce3+ were obtained from RL results. Changing the Ce and La concentration of 0.01-0.1 wt% leads to an increase in RL and CL intensities of Ce3+ and La3+ ions and also CL emission spectra of ZnB2O4 show gradual shift towards longer wavelength. When we compare the luminescence intensity of the samples it is seen that Ce doped ZnB2O4 has the highest intense whereas La doped ZnB2O4 has the lowest one. However, emission spectra of both Ce and La doped samples kept unchanged.Öğe Thermoluminescence properties of Tb doped Mg2SiO4 after beta irradiation(Elsevier, 2019) Akca, S.; Portakal, Z. G.; Dogan, T.; Kucuk, N.; Canimoglu, A.; Topaksu, M.; Can, N.In this study, we performed Thermoluminescence (TL) experiments to extract the trapping parameters and dosimetric properties of Tb-doped Mg2SiO4 phosphors. Glow peaks located at 193, 270, and 350 degrees C were observed in the glow curve but the peak at 193 degrees C was especially investigated as a dosimetric peak in this study. We also observed an anomalous heating rate effect in which the maximum TL intensity of the glow curve augmented with an increasing heating rate. The computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) method, initial rise (IR) and Hoogenstraaten's method were used to determine the activation energies of associated trapping centers for both BSL-TL 365 nm and IRSL-TL wideband blue filters. The TL characteristics of this phosphor indicate that Mg2SiO4:Tb3+ could be a promising material for dosimetric applications. Efforts should be made to improve the fading behaviour by adding other activators as co-dopants.
