Abstract

Magnesium sulfate nanoparticles doped with manganese were synthesized for the first time by using the hydrothermal method. The crystalline structure of the synthesized nanoparticles was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The size of 45.6 nm estimated from XRD pattern is in agreement with that obtained from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The thermoluminescence glow curve was deconvolved by a computer program based on general order model and four overlapping glow peaks were obtained at 408, 441, 485 and 554 K.
