Behaviour of the α-Al2O3:C Solar Ultraviolet Dosemeter under Environmental Conditions

Creators

  • 1. Madrid (Spain)

Description

The α-Al2O3:C system has been studied as an outdoor ultraviolet B solar dosemeter with no previous ionising radiation pre-treatment. The thermoluminescence signal fades when illuminated with solar ultraviolet A and visible light. An ultraviolet bandpass filter and an α-Al2O3:C sample were used to measure solar ultraviolet B dose. The hourly distribution of the solar ultraviolet dose has been used to characterise independently the system response function to solar ultraviolet radiation. (author)
