Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML) properties of the prepared KF:Ce3+ (0.1-10 mol%) polycrystalline powder sample technique are reported in this paper. The samples were coloured by gamma dose. All samples were prepared by a wet-chemical method. The ML intensities are found to be dependant on concentrations of Ce3+ and gamma radiation dose. The variation of peak ML intensity of KF:Ce3+ (0.5 mol%) with different gamma dose is found to be linear upto about 2.00 kGy high dose. Negligible fading in the prepared sample is observed.
Keywords: Mechanoluminescence (ML), gamma irradiation, accidental dosimetry, KF:Ce3+.
