Investigation of the TSEE of Various Oxides and Sulfates

The TSEE of various oxides and sulfates were investigated in order to obtain a highly sensitive material for radiation dosimetry. As a result, BeO heated above 165°C in O2 or air, and Na- or Li-doped BeO heated above 140°C were found to have the best sensitivities to radiation. The materials which showed sensitivities nearly as high as BeO were MgO, Al2O3, WO3, PbO, CaSO4, SrSO4 and BaSO4.
