THERMOLUMINESCENCE LABORATORY

Thermoluminescence Event

 

Thermoluminescence is the emission of light from a solid material when it is heated after being exposed to ionizing radiation. It can be used as a dosimeter to measure radiation dose and as a dating tool for archaeological and geological materials.

Thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) is a passive dose measurement method used for the supervision, quality control and calibration during radiation dose measurements. Nowadays TLDs, containing alumina, are largely used and investigated due to high sensitivity, physical and chemical stability, and re-usefulness).

In the Thermoluminescence Laboratory operating in the Physics Department of our university;

  • Thermoluminescence characterization of materials,
  •  
  • Measurements of fundamental trap parameters,
  •  
  • Dose measurements,
  •  
  • Retrospective dating studies are being carried out.
