One step combustion synthesis and thermoluminescence in Y3Al5O12:Ce3+

In the present paper one step combustion synthesis of compound Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ is reported using a modified procedure and employing mixed (Urea + Glycine) as fuel. Powder X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of said compound. Thermoluminescence study over the wide gamma exposure (1KGy – 13 KGy) Suggests the possible use of the phosphor in dosimetric application.
