- Abstract
The effect of deep traps filled by a pulsed electron beam on the dosimetric thermoluminescence (TL) peak at 450 K in anion-deficient aluminum oxide single crystals has been investigated. After filling deep traps, the dosimetric TL peak becomes nonelementary and is characterized by a complex dependence of the TL intensity on the crystal annealing temperature with alternating fall and rise portions. The influence of the occupancy of deep centers of different nature and different energy depths on the structure of dosimetric TL peak is analyzed. The suggestion that basically electron traps are depleted in the temperature ranges of 600-750 and 900-1000 K while holes are depleted at T = 780-900 and above 1000 K is substantiated. The possibility of using TL deep traps for high-dose dosimetry of pulsed electron beams is demonstrated.
