Studies on the thermoluminescence spectra and thermal stability of LiF:Mg,Cu, LiF:Mg,Cu,Na and LiF:Mg,Cu,Si

The loss of TL intensity and temperature shift of the main peak were observed in LiF:Mg,Cu, LiF:Mg,Cu,Na, LiF:Mg,Cu,Si, LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si and LiF:Mg as well as in LiF:Mg,Cu,P, when the sample was heated to above 270 °C. It is suggested that those are the common behaviors in the Mg doped LiF samples, if the concentration of magnesium is properly high. Those behaviors are supposed to be associated with the precipitated phase of Mg and the secondary phase - Mg/(other impurities) complex.
