Thermoluminescence Properties of Quartzite Rock after β-irradiation

Abstract

In the present study, the thermoluminescence characteristics of natural quartzite collected from Karaisalı (Adana) in Turkey were investigated after β irradiation at room temperature with the purpose to use as radiation dosimetry. The glow curve of quartzite mineral shows two peaks at 110 ^oC and 250 ^oC and a shoulder at 375 ^oC, explicitly. The resulting peaks, which were examined using the computer glow curve deconvulation (CGCD) method, were deconvuluted and kinetic parameters (activation energy E_a, frequency factor (s) and kinetic degree (b)) were determined. After CGCD methods, it was seen that the glow curve suporposed at least eight peaks. Additionally, kinetic parameters were determined using by Arrhenius plot obtained from initial rise (IR) method. In this study, it is shown that there is a correspondence between kinetic parameters calculated by IR method and peaks deconvoluated by CGCD technique in low temperature region (P1-P3). Additionally, reusability test was conducted to investigate its usability as a dosimetric material, and a change of 2% was observed in the results of 10 repeated times. Besides to the characterization of this sample X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) results were investigated.

β Işınlaması sonrası Kuvarsit Kayacının Termolüminesans Özellikleri

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de Karaisalı (Adana)’dan toplanan doğal kuvarsit kayacının termolüminesans karakteristiği, bir radyasyon dozimetresi olarak kullanmak amacıyla oda sıcaklığında β ışınlaması yapıldıktan sonra incelenmiştir. Kuvarsit mineralinin ışıma eğrisi belirgin bir şekilde 110 ^oC ve 250^oC'de iki tepe noktası ve 375^oC 'de bir omuzu göstermektedir. Bilgisayarla Işıma Eğrisi Ayrıştırma (CGCD) yöntemi kullanılarak tepeler ayrıştırılmış ve kinetik parametreler (aktivasyon enerjisi E_a, frekans faktörü (s) ve kinetik derece (b)) belirlenmiştir. CGCD yönteminden sonra, bu ışıma eğrisinin en az sekiz tepeden oluştuğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca IR yönteminden elde edilen Arrhenius grafiği yöntemiyle kinetik parametreler belirlendi. Bu çalışmada, düşük sıcaklıktaki tepe değerleri için CGCD tekniği ile ayrılan tepeler ile (P1-P3) IR yöntemi ile hesaplanan kinetik parametreler arasında bir ilişki olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ek olarak, dozimetrik materyal olarak kullanılabilirliğini araştırmak için tekrar kullanılabilirlik testi yapılmış ve 10 kez tekrarlanan sonuçlarda % 2'lik bir değişim gözlenmiştir. Bu çalışmaların yanında kuvarsit örneğinin karakterizasyonu için X-ışını kırımı (XRD) ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM-) enerji yayılımlı X-ışını analizi (EDX) sonuçları incelendi.
