Description

Various fluoro-silicates, viz. M2SiF6 (M=Li, Na, K) were synthesized by reacting the mixture of corresponding salt and silicic acid with Hydrofluoric acid. The thermal analysis of these materials was performed. These materials were doped with ions Ce3+, Cu+, Ag+ and photoluminescence, TL, OSL properties were studied. Intense TL and OSL was observed from these materials. Due to decomposition during heating, these materials may not be suitable as TL Phosphors, but will be good phosphors for radiation dosimetry using OSL.
