Resumo

The effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure on the thermoluminescence (TL) of aluminium oxide co-doped with carbon and magnesium (Al2O3:C,Mg) are reported. An Al2O3:C,Mg single crystal was investigated as a potential UV TL dosimeter after exposure to a Hg lamp radiation. The TL peak intensity and area under the curve signals were investigated as a function of the UV exposure time. Intense TL signal was obtained after UV radiation, and the area of the main TL peak at 456 K exponentially increasing with UV exposure time (within 10-120 s), with a trend for saturation for long irradiation times These results were interpreted against similar measurements using beta radiation, showing that the same defects are involved in the TL response for both types of radiation, while the different irradiation response to the two types of radiation was related to the differences in the energy dissipation characteristics, and how they affect the concentration of F-type/F-aggregate centers.
