Study of trapping parameters of MgB4O7: Dy exposed to 75 MeV O6+ ion beam

MgB4O7: Dy phosphor has been synthesized using combustion method. The synthesized material was then irradiated to 75 MeV O6+ ion beam and TL glow curves were noticed. In the present study, the trapping parameters were calculated using Chen’s peak shape method and initial rise method after deconvoluting the glow curve. TL glow curve shows that synthesized MgB4O7 phosphor may find an application in radiation dosimetry for 75 MeV O6+ ion beam in the fluence range from 5 × 1010 to 1 × 1012 ion/cm2.
