Thermoluminescence And Dielectric Properties Of An X-Ray Irradiated Double Sulphate Crystal

Abstract

Thermoluminescence measurements and A. C. conductivity o(w) for nonirradiated and x-ray irradiated Potassium Cesium Sulphate, KCSSO4, crystals have been studied. TL reader type Harshaw model 2000 A+B and the impedance meter Hioki 3520 have been used to carry out these measurements. Two separate peaks have been observed TL glow curves at relatively low x-ray doses. The Cole-Cole diagrams have been used to analyse the obtained data. The activation energies for A. C. conductivity and TL trap depth were calculated and the discrepancies were discussed. The obtained results show that KCSSO4 crystals is a good candidate in the field of radiation measurements.
