Abstract

Thermoluminescence dosemeters (TLD300) were implanted with 20 keV boron-10 ions, in order to enhance their thermal neutron sensitivity. Photon emission spectra of the TI.Ds were studied before and after implantation. The gamma sensitivity of the TI.Ds were also analyzed. It was found that the implantation slightly reduces the gamma sensitivity. The emission spectra of TLDs, however, did not change due to the implantation. It was concluded that except some crystal damage the basic thermoluminescence dosimetic properties were not effected by ions implantation. The implanted TLD can be used as a more sensitivity radiation detector.
