$Ca_2SiO_4$를 모체로 한 열형광체에도 활성제로 La를 0.1 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%, 0.5 wt.%, 1.0 wt.%의 농도로 첨가하여 $1000^{circ}C$의 질소 분위기의 전기로에서 90분 동안 소결한 후 입자의 크기를 $100{mu}m$로 일정하게 선별한 후 측정에 사용하였다. 저에너지 X-선을 조사한 후 측정한 경우 0.1 wt.%에서 상대적으로 열형광 강도가 크게 나타났다. peak shape 법으로 구한 활성화 에너지는 0.434 ~ 0.516 eV이며, 주파수 인자는 0.5 ~ 0.56으로 2차 발광이었다. 자외선을 조사한 후 측정한 경우 0.3 wt.%에서 상대적인 열형광 강도가 크게 나타났고, 활성화 에너지는 0.415 ~ 0.477 eV이며, 주파수 인자는 0.5 ~ 0.53 으로 2차 발광이었다. 저에너지 방사선에 대한 방사선량과 열형광 강도는 선형적임을 나타내어 열형광선량계로서 좋은 특성을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서 제작한 $CaB_4O_7$, $Ca_2SiO_4 열형광체는 저에너지 영역의 방사선에 대하여 우수한 열형광 특성을 가짐을 알 수 있었고, 향후 선량계의 제작에 좋은 물질이 될 것으로 생각한다.

The $Ca_2SiO_4$ phosphors doped by La with 0.1 wt%, 0.3 wt%, 0.5 wt%, and 1.0 wt% concentration were prepared by sintering at $1000^{circ}C$ for 90 minutes in N2 atmosphere. The phosphors were ground in powdered form and were grouped in $100{mu}m$ size, then the samples had been exposed to low energy X-ray and UV light. The TL glow curves were measured by heating the phosphors at $10^{circ}C/s$ rate. There was no significantly meaningful correlation between the TL intensity and the doping level. The intensities of the TL peak measured from X-ray irradiated samples doped with 0.1 wt% were relatively strong. The activation energy and the frequency factor were 0.434 ~ 0.516 eV and 0.5 ~ 0.56, respectively. The intensities of the TL peak measured from UV irradiated samples doped with 0.3 wt% were relatively strong. The activation energy and frequency factor were 0.415 ~ 0.477 eV and 0.5 ~ 0.53, respectively. The TL process were found to be the 2nd order for both X-ray and UV irradiation. The TL intensity was increased linearly with the increase of the radiation dose. In summary, the $Ca_2SiO_4 phosphors developed in this study showed good TL characteristics at low energy X-ray and UV light. We believe they will be used as TLDs in near future for personal and environmental radiation detection dosimetry.
