Abstract

[ $Mg_2SiO_4(La.Ho)$ ] thermoluminescent phosphor was made by putting the $MgCl_2.6H_2O$ and $SiO_2$ and by doping the rare earth element of $LaCl_3.7H_2O$ and $HoCl_3$. The heating rate is $10^{\circ}C/sec$ for the thermoluminescent phosphor. Two peaks are found in the measured $Mg_2SiO_4(La.Ho)$ Tl glow curve at $152^{\circ}C$ and $205^{\circ}C$ when the heating rate is $5^{\circ}C/sec$. The peak value at $205^{\circ}C$ is the most sensitive to X-ray among the glow peaks. The activation energy of the main peak has been estimated by the peak shape method. The estimated activation energies for Ho and La are $0.52{\sim}1.77\;eV$ respectively.
