TL response of Eu activated LiF nanocubes irradiated by 85 MeV carbon ions

摘要: Abstract Carbon ions were found to be effective for cancer treatment. These heavy have a high relative biological effectiveness compared those of photons. They higher linear energy transfer and sharper Bragg peak with very excellent local tumor control. However, the dose these swift needs measured great accuracy. Lithium fluoride (LiF) is highly sensitive phosphor widely used radiation dosimetry. In this work Eu activated LiF nanocubes exposed 85 MeV C 6+ ion beam evaluated their thermoluminescence (TL) response. Pellet forms nanomaterial in fluence range 10 9 –10 13  ions/cm 2 . The obtained result shows prominent TL glow at around 320 °C, which different than that induced by gamma rays. This exhibits response 12 , corresponding equivalent absorbed doses 0.273–273 kGy. doses, penetration depths main loss calculated using TRIM code based on Monte Carlo simulation. supralinearity function stopping power also studied. modification curve structure as changing irradiation type might utilized use LiF:Eu dosimeter mixed filed radiations. Moreover, wide along low fading are another imperative results suggesting good candidate carbon
