This study indicates Thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) radiation dosimetry characteristics for NaMgF3:Dy1%,Eu0.1% fluoroperovskite. Nanocrystalline NaMgF3:Dy1%,Eu0.1% material was synthesized by hydrothermal technique. The structure and optical properties were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), radioluminescence (RL) and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. The bands on RL spectrum at 365, 488 and 477 nm might be attributed to Eu,2+ Eu3+ and Dy3+ ion emissions, respectively. The experimentally obtained TL glow curve was analyzed by the computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) and various heating rate (VHR) methods and the order of kinetics (b), activation energy (E), and frequency factor (s) were determined for the appeared four peaks of the TL glow curve with 2°C /s heating rate. The energy bandgaps were calculated and the dependence of bandgap on composition was reported through the Density Functional Theory (DFT) computation.
