Abstract
Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies were carried out to identify the defect centres responsible for the TL and OSL processes in MgAl2O4:Tb3+. Two defect centres were identified in irradiated MgAl2O4:Tb3+ phosphor by ESR measurements which was carried out at room temperature and these were assigned to V and F+ centres. V centre (hole centre) is correlated to 120 and 220 °C TL peaks and F+ centre (electron centre), which acts as a recombination centre is correlated to 120, 220 and 340 °C.
