The effects of heating rate on the dose response characteristics of TLD-200, TLD-300 and TLD-400

In the given study; the effects of heating rates on the dose response characteristics of CaF2:Dy (TLD-200), CaF2:Tm (TLD-300) and CaF2:Mn (TLD-400) crystals have been investigated using the dose dependence curve and dose response function f(D). It was observed from the dose response functions that the linearity and behaviour of the TL glow peaks of TLD-200 and TLD-400 are affected, but the TLD-300 is not affected from the heating rate.
