Argon ions induced thermoluminescence properties of Ba0.12Sr0.88SO4 phosphor

► Effect of Argon ion irradiation on thermoluminescence (TL) property of Ba0.12Sr0.88SO4 phosphor. ► Monte Carlo SRIM-2008 simulation to correlate defect evolution by ion irradiation with the change in TL properties. ► GlowFit computer program was used for glow curve analysis. ► Kinetic parameters associated with the prominent glow peaks were calculated using glow curve deconvolution (GCD), different glow curve shape and sample heating rate methods.
