This study has investigated the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of household salt and chemically pure NaCl after exposure in different radiation environments. The response relative to thermoluminescent dosimetry using LiF has been investigated to determine if OSL in NaCl can be considered as an alternative to measurements of thermoluminescence in LiF. A selection of staff members at the...

— Two types of H° centres and one H~ centre were found by ESR and vacuum UV measurements in X-irradiated LiF : Mg. The so called Z3 and Z2 centres in LiF : Mg are not identical with any Z centre and are rather connected to the OH impurity.

BACKGROUND Dose assessment using proper dosimeters is especially important in radiation protection optimization and imaging justification in diagnostic radiology. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to obtain the Entrance Skin Dose (ESD) of patients undergoing lumbar spine imaging using two thermoluminescence dosimeters TLD-100 (LiF: Mg, Ti) and GR-200 (LiF: Mg, Cu, P) and also to obtain the a...

The linearity of thermoluminescence (TL) dose response curve, in low dose levels, is affected by background signals appearing at the tail of the glow curves. The effects of these signals also restrict the use of the high temperature glow peaks in many applications. In this study, a new reading out procedure was presented to reduce the background signals and increase the resolution of the high t...

Ti–6Al–4V scaffolds were fabricated by powder metallurgical space holder technique in this research. The most added magnesium (Mg) powder was evaporated and a skeleton of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was produced. For this purpose Ti-6Al-4V and Mg powders mixture compacted in a steel die by applying uniaxial pressure of 500 MPa before sintering the green product in a sealed quartz tubes at 900 °C for 2 hour...
