Thermoluminescence property of nano scale Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}: C by combustion method

In this study, thermoluminescence dosimetry material of carbon doped aluminium oxide by combustion method using Aluminium nitrate and Glycine. The Structure of the prepared Sample was carried out by XRD. The sample was nano crystalline in nature. Having hexagonal structure with unit cell parameters a=4.75Å, C=12.99Å. The surface morphology of the prepared nanopowder was carried out through (SEM). The morphology of the prepared sample is platelet structure and functional group analysis carried out through FT-IR Spectrum. The prepared sample was irradiated through γ-ray CO{sup 60} (100 Gy) was used as γ-ray source. The thermoluminescence glow curve of the irradiated sample showed an isolated peak at around 200°C. The result suggest the prepared nanopowder is suitable for medical radiation dosimetry.
