Abstract
Attempt has been made to investigate the thermoluminescence (TL) of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD 100) chip irradiated with gamma energies of 1.25 MeV. The TL response increases over a wide photon dose range, from 1.0 to 10 Gy. The LiF:Mg,Ti demonstrates useful TL properties and represents as an excellent candidate for use in TL dosimetry of ionizing radiation. TLD 100 dosimeter has been found to yield a linear dose-TL signal relationship. Its linearity and sensitivity have been observed. The TL high sensitivity of TLD 100 makes it a very promising TL material for use in research and a variety of other applications.
