Thermoluminescent (TL) properties of the perovskite KMgF3 activated by Ce and Er impurities

The perovskites are very interesting for their thermoluminescent properties and for their possible application as thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). In this paper we present results concerning the main dosimetric properties of KMgF3 activated by Ce and Er at various concentrations, i.e. annealing procedure, reproducibility of the TL signal, linearity and fading behaviour.
