Synthesis of strontium borate doped with Pb by solid state method and characterization of its thermoluminescent glow curve

Authors

Abstract

Strontium Tetraborate doped with Lead SrB4O7:Pb powder was prepared by solid state method. The formation of Strontium Tetraborate compound was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Thermoluminescence Glow Curve of gamma irradiated sample was investigated in order to use as a thermoluminescent dosimeter. Because of excellent mechanical properties, non-hygroscopicity and sensitivity to gamma radiation, SrB4O7:Pb can be used as a personal dosimeter.
