Özet

In the present work, the thermoluminescence (TL) properties and kinetics ofbeta-irradiated porcelain used as an electrical insulator are investigated in greatdepth. Thermal annealing at 1100◦C slightly changes the trap system, whereasheating over 500◦C increases the visual TL intensity of the peaks. X-ray diffrac-tion, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy,atomic absorption spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopywere used to confirm the structural, morphological, and chemical investigationsof the materials. The TL glow curve characteristics, repeatability, storage timeproperties, and dose–response behavior of non-annealed and annealed porce-lain have all been well investigated. Within the confidence interval, the materialhasbeendemonstratedtohaveexcellentreusability.Alinearresponseinthedoserange of 0.1–3 Gy was observed.TM–Ts, initial rise, and computerized glow curvedeconvolution methodologies were used to complete the kinetic study. The out-comes of the detailed investigations demonstrated that the sample was suitablefor TL dosimetry potential uses.
