Item Dosimetric and kinetic parameters of lithium cadmium borate glasses doped with rare earth ions(Elsevier, 2014) Anjaiah, J.; Laxmikanth, C.; Kistaiah, P.; Veeraiah, N.Thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of X-ray irradiated pure and doped with four different rare earth ions (viz., Pr3þ, Nd3þ, Sm3þ and Eu3þ) Li2OeCdoeB2O3 glasses have been studied in the temperature range 303e573 K; the pure glass has exhibited single TL peak at 466 K. When this glass is doped with different rare earth ions no additional peaks are observed but the glow peak temperature of the existing glow peak shifted gradually towards higher temperatures with gain in intensity of TL light output. The area under the glow curve is found to be maximum for Eu3þ doped glasses. The trap depth parameters associated with the observed TL peaks have been evaluated using Chen's formulae. The possible use of these glasses in radiation dosimetry has been described. The result clearly showed that europium doped cadmium borate glass has a potential to be considered as the thermoluminescence dosimeter
