Enhanced Linear Response in Radiation Monitoring Using Mn-Doped Magnesium Borate Nanostructured TLD Phosphors
Anhad Grewal, Dr Sudhisht Srivastava
Abstract: Accurate radiation monitoring is imperative for worker safety in ionizing radiation environments. This study presents a novel nanomaterial phosphor, magnesium borate doped with Mn impurity, synthesized via a chemical approach. Structural and morphological analyses were conducted using X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Thermoluminescence analysis revealed the phosphor's superior linear response to absorbed doses of gamma rays ranging from 50 Gy to 3 kGy, surpassing traditional phosphors. The enhanced performance is attributed to its nanostructure, offering a broader linear dose response range compared to bulk materials. This research addresses limitations in existing thermoluminescent phosphors, showcasing the potential of nanotechnology in radiation monitoring materials. It builds upon a century of valuable research in this field, highlighting ongoing global efforts to advance radiation safety through innovative materials and techniques.
