Abstract

A study has been conducted with the goal of comparing the characteristics of TLD-K detectors based on sodium silicate ceramics to the characteristics of monocrystalline lithium fluoride detectors that contain traces of titanium and magnesium (TLD-100), as well as anion-defected aluminum oxide (TLD-500), which are widely used in thermoluminescent dosimetry. Because they are soil-equivalent, SiO₂ detectors are well suited for measuring the absorbed radiation dose in soils. The results of the comparison indicate that TLD-K detectors are preferable to LiF detectors in environmental applications due to the better uniformity of the detector sensitivity in a batch, the wider range of measurable doses, and the lower threshold in determining small doses.
