Measurement of Trap Parameters of $CaSO_4:Tm$ TLD using Glow Curve Fitting

Glow 곡선 Fitting에 의한 $CaSO_4:Tm$ TLD의 포획매개변수 측정

Highly sensitive $CaSO_4:Tm$ TLD is fabricated and their trap parameters are determined. The glow curve of $CaSO_4:Tm$ consists of three glow peaks and these peaks are isolated by the thermal bleaching method. The isolated glow peaks are fitted by a least squares method. The activation energies are 0.68, 0.82 and 1.03 eV. The frequency factors are $8.09{\times}10^8,\;9.14{\times}10^8$ and $1.03{\times}10^9/s$, and the kinetic orders are 1.37, 1.54 and 1.68, respectively. The optimum temperature range of the main peak for radiation dosimetry is between 220 and $290^{\circ}C$.
