Abstract

This paper presents the structural and luminescence characterization of undoped and trivalent lanthanide-doped BeO ceramics synthesized via the co-precipitation synthesis technique. Phase confirmation of the products was achieved by the x-ray diffraction (XRD) method, while the surface and elemental morphology were carried out with scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) analyses. Radioluminescence (RL), Thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) methods were utilized for the luminescence characterization. Moreover, the relationship between TL and OSL signals was investigated in-depth with three different experiments (TL after OSL, step annealing and thermally-transferred OSL (TT-OSL).
