Abstract:
This work presents the results obtained from the dosimetric properties of the new radiation detectors of KMgF3:Tb + PTFE. The thermoluminescent material was obtained by microwave technique. The polycrystalline powder obtained was mixed with polytetrafluoroethylene resin powder in the ratio 2:3 to make dosimeters in pellet form. The thermoluminescent response of these new detectors presented a linear behavior, in the dose range between 1 and 1000 Gy 60Co gamma radiation, the repeatability test in the measurements, during ten cycles of heat treatment, irradiation and readouts, showed ± 3.7% DS, the stability test of thermoluminescent signal, during two months showed that the fading is practically null. For the results obtained, this new detector could be very useful for radiation dosimetry, in clinical applications.
