•The LL intensities are found to be dependent on concentrations of Ce ion.•The LL intensities are found to be dependent on gamma rays radiation dose.•Dose response of KBr:Ce (0.5 mol%) is observed linear between 0.08 and 1.00 kGy.•The prepared material may be useful for ionizing radiation dosimetry.
The lyoluminescence (LL) properties of gamma irradiated KBr:Ce phosphor are reported in this paper. The samples were prepared by wet chemical route. The prepared material was characterized by lyoluminescence technique. LL in KBr:Ce have been recorded for different gamma doses. The nature of variation of peak LL intensity is found to be sublinear with gamma irradiation dose, and the peak LL intensity is found to be dependent on concentrations of added Ce in the samples. Negligible fading in the prepared KBr:Ce (0.5 mol%) sample is observed.
