Abstract
The objective of this work was to improve the stability and reproducibility of CaS:Eu
Sm phosphors in a real-time dosimetry system. Different volumes of tetraethyl orthosilicate
were used as precursor and coated onto CaS:Eu
Sm phosphors by the sol-gel method. The luminescence properties and water resistance of the phosphors were evaluated using a fluorescence spectrometer and an acidometer respectively. The results show that 5%(mass fraction)of silica coating effectively improve their water resistance with minimum loss of light emission. The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) decay and dose response of coated CaS:Eu
Sm phosphors offer an easy evaluation of the annealing time and specify dose. The dose characteristic is linear from 0.1 to 300 Gy. The 5% SiO
2
-coated CaS:Eu
Sm phosphors' variation of the reusability is below 2% at dose of 1 Gy. The amount of surface coating significantly affected the OSL signal
which became more pronounced with the increasing radiation dose. A novel dosimetry system based on the OSL technique is proposed for real-time measurement.
