  • Investigations of retrospective dosimetry have shown that components of mobile phones are suitable as emergency dosimeters in case of radiological incidents. For physical dosimetry, components can be read out using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and phototransferred thermoluminescence (PTTL) methods to determine the absorbed dose. This paper deals with a feasibility study of display glass from modern mobile phones that are measured by thermally assisted (Ta) optically stimulated luminescence. Violet (VSL, 405 nm) and infrared (IRSL, 850 nm) LEDs were used for optical stimulation and two protocols (Ta-VSL and Ta-IRSL) were tested. The aim was to systematically investigate the luminescence properties, compare the results to blue stimulated Ta-BSL protocol (458 nm) and to develop a robust measurement protocol for the usage as an emergency dosimeter after an incident with ionizing radiation. First, the native signals were measured to calculate the zero dose signal. Next, the reproducibility and dose response of the luminescence signals were analyzed. Finally, the signal stability was tested after the storage of irradiated samples at room temperature. In general, the developed Ta-IRSL and Ta-VSL protocols indicate usability, however, further research is needed to test the potential of a new protocol for physical retrospective dosimetry.

  • 천리포 해안사구 퇴적층에 대한 연대측정을 Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL)을 이용하여 Single Aliquot Regeneration (SAR) 법 중 열처리 조건을 일부 수정하여 실시하였다. 예열과 cut-heat을 각각 $260^{\circ}C$ 10 초 $-220^{\circ}C$ 0 초와 $270^{\circ}C$ 10 초 $-270^{\circ}C$ 10 초의 두 가지 조합을 적용하였다. 예열 및 cutheat의 열처리 과정을 변화시킴으로써 원하는 신호만을 선별하는 것이 가능했으며, 이를 등가선량을 구하는데 이용하였다. 또한 시료를 $75{\mu}m$, $150{\mu}m$, $200{\mu}m$의 표준체로 크기를 4개의 영역으로 구분하였고, 열처리 조건의 변화와 입자의 크기가 달라짐에 따라 등가선량이 다르게 측정되어 다른 연대가 산출되었다. 그 결과는 방사성탄소연대측정법에 의한 연대와 비교하였다. 입자의 크기에 따라 다른 연대가 산출된 것으로 미루어 천리포 해안사구 퇴적지층은 토양의 유입원이 혼합되어 구성되었음을 추정할 수 있었다.
