The present work elucidates thermoluminescence study of Dy activated lanthanum calcium borate (La2CaB10O19) phosphors and determination of trapping parameters. Two glow curves located at 132 and 295 degrees C were observed and showed a linear TL response. The kinetic parameters of the glow peaks were evaluated using variable heating rate, repeated initial rise method and Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution. Analysis of the main dosimetric peaks reveals that the values of the activation energy and pre-exponential factor are found to be 0.78-1.145 eV and 8.59 x 10(9)-8.44 x 10(11) s(-1), respectively. The sample doped with 1% Dy3+ exhibits a good stability for the reusability. Besides, the found results indicate that the temperature maximum shifts to the higher temperature side as the heating rate increases. Contrary to previously expressed theoretical expectations, anomalous heating rate dependence was observed in Dy3+ doped La2CaB10O19 sample and a semi-localized transition model explaining the anomalous heating rate effect was employed.
