Abstract

In this study, a series of Eu2+-doped LiSrPO4 phosphors were synthesized via solid-state method. The structural and morphological characterizations were done through X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscope. Additionally, the photoluminescence (PL), thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) behaviours of LiSrPO4:Eu2+ phosphors were studied. The LiSrPO4:Eu2+ phosphor shows OSL sensitivity about 8 times than that of α-Al2O3:C phosphor and 6 times than that of LiMgPO4:Tb3+, B phosphor. Moreover, TL sensitivity was about 15 times more as compared to α-Al2O3:C phosphor. The kinetic parameters of TL curve were calculated using peak shape method. In TL/OSL mode, dose–response was almost linear nature, in the range of measurement. The minimum detectable dose was found to be 25.18 μGy with 3σ of background. Also, reusability was also studies, which shows the phosphor can be reusable for 10 cycles with 0.1 % change in OSL output.
