Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) is the luminescence emitted from a previously irradiated insulator (or a wide band gap semiconductor) upon exposure to light. The OSL signal intensity is a function of the radiation dose absorbed by the sample and thus can be used as the basis of a radiation dosimetry method. In the literature, OSL studies on natural fluorites are rather limited. In order to promote the material for radiation dosimetry, OSL properties of natural fluorites of different origin were examined in this study. For this purpose, dose-response, reproducibility, thermal stability and fading of the OSL signals were analyzed. In order to find a relation between OSL and TL signals, TL signals and the effect of OSL measurements on TL signals were examined. Thermal activation energies of the light sensitive TL peaks and the OSL signals were also calculated using different methods and the results were compared. Also, absence of the thermal quenching was shown. Finally, TR-OSL signals were measured to have an opinion about the recombination centers. As a result of these studies, it is possible to conclude that natural fluorites show promising features to be used as an environmental dosimeter with regard to a suitable OSL signal, range of linearity, repeatability in response, as well as being readily available at a low cost.

Optical constants of Tl4Ga3InSe8 layered single crystals
Goksen, K.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2007-11-15)
The optical properties of Tl(4)Ga(3)lnSe(8) layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 run. The analysis of the room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 1.94 and 2.20 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K revealed that the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature i...
Optical absorption and reflection studies of Tl4InGa3S8 layered single crystals
Goksen, K.; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ozkan, H. (Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2007-07-01)
The optical properties of Tl4InGa3S8 layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength region between 400 and 1100 nm. The analysis of the room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 2.40 and 2.61 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K revealed the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature as g...
Photo-transferred luminescence from BeO ceramics
Bulur, Enver (2007-03-01)
Temperature and radiation dose dependences of the thermoluminescence, photo-transferred luminescence signals from BeO ceramics were investigated using blue-green stimulation (420-550 nm). Several deep traps that act as sources for the photo-transferred luminescence signals, located in 400-625 degrees C region of the TL glow curve, were distinguished.
Quantum effects in the diffusion process to form a heavy nucleus in heavy-ion fusion reactions
Washiyama, Kouhei; Yilmaz, Buelent; Ayik, Sakir; Takigawa, Noboru (2006-03-23)
We discuss quantum effects in the diffusion process which is used to describe the shape evolution from the touching configuration of fusing two nuclei to a compound nucleus. Applying the theory with quantum effects to the case where the potential field, the mass and friction parameters are adapted to realistic values of heavy-ion collisions, we show that the quantum effects play significant roles at low temperatures which are relevant to the synthesis of superheavy elements.
Anisotropic electrical and dispersive optical parameters in InS layered crystals
QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2010-02-01)
The anisotropy effect on the current transport mechanism and on the dispersive optical parameters of indium monosulfide crystals has been studied by means of electrical conductivity and polarized reflectance measurements along the a-axis and the b-axis, respectively. The temperature-dependent electrical conductivity analysis in the range 10-350 K for the a-axis and in the range 30-350 K for the b-axis revealed the domination of the thermionic emission of charge carriers and the domination of variable range ...
