Time-resolved OSL (TR-OSL) from natural zircon (ZrSiO4) minerals was investigated using 445 nm blue laser light for stimulation. Analyses of the TR-OSL spectra have showed that the decay is composed of two exponential components with lifetimes varying around similar to 17 mu s and around similar to 110 mu s respectively. The behaviour of these signal components, was examined under various sample treatments and experimental conditions. Preheating experiments showed that the OSL signal is stable up to temperatures similar to 250 degrees C then becomes unstable. The dose response of the TR-OSL signal from zircon was determined in the range from 1 Gy to 1 kGy and observed to be increasing linearly. Practically, no effect of radiation dose on the lifetimes of signal components was observed. In addition, the effect of measurement temperature on the TR-OSL decay lifetimes was also investigated. Thermal quenching energies of the "fast" and the "slow" components were found to be very close to each other i.e. 0.18 and 0.24 eV respectively.

More on the TR-OSL signal from BeO ceramics Bulur, Enver (Elsevier BV, 2014-07-01) Time Resolved Optically Stimulated Luminescence (TR-OSL) from Be ceramics was investigated using blue (445 nm) and near-IR light (852 nm) for stimulation. Stimulation spectrum of the TR-OSL signal - as measured in the interval 700 to 420 nm- was observed to increase monotonically with the decreasing stimulation wavelength. In addition to the "fast" and "slow" components observed with blue light stimulation, IR stimulated TR-OSL spectra of irradiated BeO ceramics were observed to have two components with ave...
Optically stimulated luminescence from BeO ceramics: An LM-OSL study Bulur, Enver (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) signals of BeO ceramics were investigated using continuous wave (CW) OSL and Linearly Modulated (LM) OSL It was found that both curves can be approximated using a linear combination of two first-order components. Experiments on the measurement temperature dependence have shown that these two components have nearly the same thermal quenching energies around 0.57 eV. Dependences of the OSL signal on preheat temperature and radiation dose were also examined. Thermal anne...
Time-resolved OSL studies on BeO ceramics Bulur, Enver (Elsevier BV, 2013-12) Time-Resolved Optically Stimulated Luminescence (TR-OSL) from BeO ceramics was investigated using a blue laser (445 nm) as stimulation light source. It was observed that, at relatively low dose levels (up to similar to 25 Gy) the TR-OSL decay curve can be approximated with a single exponential decay function with a lifetime of similar to 26 gs at room temperature. Beyond 25 Gy a new decay component with a lifetime of a similar to 2 ts was observed in addition to the similar to 26 mu s component. Thermal sta...
Overview of the beam emission spectroscopy diagnostic system on the National Spherical Torus Experiment Smith, D. R.; Feder, H.; Feder, R.; Fonck, R. J.; Labik, G.; McKee, G. R.; Schoenbeck, N.; Stratton, B. C.; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Winz, G. (AIP Publishing, 2010-10-01) A beam emission spectroscopy (BES) system has been installed on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) to study ion gyroscale fluctuations. The BES system measures D-alpha emission from a deuterium neutral heating beam. The system includes two optical views centered at r/a approximate to 0.45 and 0.85 and aligned to magnetic field pitch angles at the neutral beam. f/1.5 collection optics produce 2-3 cm spot sizes at the neutral beam. The initial channel layout includes radial arrays, poloidal arrays...
Frequency Selective Characteristics of a Plasma Layer with Sinusoidally Varying Electron Density Profile GÜREL, ÇİĞDEM SEÇKİN; Oencue, Emrah (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-06-01) In this study reflection, absorbtion and transmission characteristics of a plasma layer having sinusoidally varying electron number density are analysed. In the analysis, plasma layer is divided into thin subslabs with constant electron number densities. The general frequency selective behavior of the plasma is investigated by varying the plasma parameters, external magnetic field excitation and sinusoidal electron distribution in order to be used in recent plasma applications.
