Optically stimulated luminescence in K2SO4:AEu (A=Ca,Na,Al)

Optically stimulated luminescence in doped K2SO4 is reported. K2SO4 was prepared by simple melt quenched process using readymade potassium sulphate. Samples were doped with Eu and AEu (A=Ca, Na and Al). Out of these samples K2SO4:Eu and K2SO4:Ca,Eu shows good OSL response to 470 nm optical stimulation. K2SO4:Eu and K2SO4:Ca,Eu have the sensitivities comparable with that of commercial phosphor Al2O3:C (Landauer).
