Thermoluminescence response and glow curve structure of Sc2TiO5 ß-irradiated

Discandium titanate (Sc2TiO5) powder was synthesized in order to analyze its thermoluminescence (TL) response. The TL glow curve structure shows two peaks: at 453–433K and at 590–553K. The TL beta dose–response has a linear behavior over the dose range 50–500Gy. The Tstop preheat method shows five glow peaks that were taken into account to calculate the kinetic parameters using the CGCD procedure. TL results support the possible use of Sc2TiO5 as a new phosphor in high ß-dose dosimetry. •Discandium titanate was synthesized, and its TL properties were analyzed.•The beta dose–response has a linear behavior on the dose range 50–500Gy.•The kinetic parameters were obtained by the CGCD procedure.•Results support the possible use of Sc2TiO5 as a new phosphor for ß-dose dosimetry.
