Abstract

The glow curve structure of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) has been investigated following irradiation by low energy alpha particles and ⁴He ions following both air and N₂ annealing. T(m)-T(stop) analysis was carried out following ⁶⁰Co gamma volumetric, low ionisation density, irradiation (annealing in air) as well as low energy alpha particle irradiation (annealing in air) and ⁴He irradiation (annealing in dry N₂). A comparison of the T(m)-T(stop) measurements established the presence of several additional glow peaks (both low temperature and high temperature) in the alpha and ⁴He induced glow curves. The presence of the additional peaks following both air and N₂ annealing atmospheres implies that their creation is most likely due to ionisation density effects in the highly dosed core of the heavy charged particle track.
