Description

A brief sequence of development of main thermoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) materials and their important properties are given. It has been a long way of developments in this field since the birth of LiF TLD-100 in 1963. Literature is now flooded with both theoretical aspects as well as applications of thermoluminescence. Presently, there is hardly any conference on radiation protection, radiation dosimetry and medical physics where papers related to TLD, either directly or indirectly, are not presented. In fact TLD system has become an integral part of health physics laboratories and medical physics departments
