Description

The TL properties of Brazilian topaz were investigated. The flow curve up to 573K presents peaks close to 373, 403, 473 and 523 K. A linear response from 7 to at least 104 mGy is observed. The TL sensitivity is about 150 times lower than that of LiF-TL 100 Harshaw. The fading behaviour was investigated during a period of 15 days, at room temperature. the third peak intensity, after 24 h, becomes 80% of its initial value and then seems to stabilize. (author)
