Abstract
The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and the separation efficiency of the neutron and gamma components by OSL outputs were studied for samples of anion-deficient corundum (α-Αl2O3-δ) in ceramic and single-crystal forms with various neutron converters. For OSL dosimetry in mixed gamma-neutron fields, a detector material synthesized using ceramic technology consisting of a mixture of OSL active α-Αl2O3-δ and neutron-converter 6LiF powders in a ratio of 7:3 was selected as a promising one. The lower limit of the individual dose equivalent for such material under neutron irradiation does not exceed 30 μSv, and the dose dependence is linear up to 1 Sv.
