Effect of particle size on the thermoluminescence dosimetric properties of household salt

Abstract This work investigates the effect of particle size on the thermoluminescence (TL) response of household salt that is classified into five size fractions between 63 and 250 μm. Irradiation induced two main TL peaks at 110 and 240 °C for each particle size fraction. In addition to these peaks, two additional glow peaks were observed at 80 and 300 °C for particles with small size (
