One of the most important mineral in dosimetric investigation is quartz, which is found abundantly in archaeological and geological materials. Although there are many studies about its thermoluminescence (TL) properties in the literature, it may exhibit different properties for each quartz mineral extracted from the different region of the world. In the present work, the stabilities and dose responses of glow peaks of quartz obtained from the tiles of Kubad Abad Palace in central Turkey were investigated after annealing at 500 and 600 degrees C for 1 h. The variation of radiation sensitivity of TL peaks of the quartz grains extracted from tiles are found to be more stable after annealing at 600 degrees C than 500 degrees C for 1h. The TL dose responses of glow peaks of annealed and unannealed quartz samples were also studied up to approximately 3 kGy. It was observed that the pre-irradiation heat treatments affect the dose response behaviors of glow peaks. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
