Abstract
Manganese and cerium doped potassium chloride (KCl:Mn and KCl:Ce) were produced by the co-precipitation
method with ultrasonic waves. Characterization of the samples material was carried out using X-ray diffraction
(XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) patterns. The optimum
amount of manganese and cerium concentration with the most thermoluminescence (TL) sensitivity was
obtained at 0.3 mol% in KCl:Mn and 0.5 mol% in KCl:Ce samples. To evaluate the number of component glow
peaks and the kinetic parameters of the TL glow curve of synthesized materials, computerized glow curve
deconvolution (CGCD) and Tm-Tstop methods were used. The thermoluminescence properties of phosphors were
studied at different doses. The TL response was linear in the range of 10–1000 Gy. Other TL features of the
prepared material are also discussed.
