Description

The results of studies on the soft X-ray sensitivity of thin organic Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films are presented. A linear behavior of the relationship between the integral luminescence (Δ λ = 380 - 400 nm) and the dose rate of X-ray irradiation in the range of 10-6 - 10-5 A/kg at the energy of 5 keV has been established. It is shown that the specific X-ray luminescence of the 0.5 μm LB film exceeds that one of the single-crystal Cs J (Tl) scintillator of 1 mm in thickness by two orders of magnitude. It is supposed that these films can be used for measurement of the plasma temperature
