Abstract

We report the influence of dopants on the thermoluminescence of Sr2MgSi2O7. Samples studied comprise undoped Sr2MgSi2O7 and doped versions, namely, Sr2MgSi2O7:Dy3+, Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3+, Sr2MgSi2O7:Tb3+ and Sr2MgSi2O7:Tb3+,Eu3+ phosphors. All samples show a broad glow peak near 60 °C when measured at 1 °C/s after irradiation to 10 Gy. The peak changes with partial heating, irradiation and fades between irradiation and measurement in a manner expected of a composite one. The behaviour is used to exemplify the analysis of a composite peak on the basis that particular features reflect those of the dominant component.
