Abstract
In this work we performed experimental analyses of the dose-response curves of natural alexandrite, using thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). The natural alexandrite crystals from Bahia, Brazil, were pulverized and the optical absorption measurements were carried out in the range of 200 to 800 nm, comparing a non-irradiated sample with a 10 Gy beta irradiated one. OSL and TL measurements were performed using the Risø equipment (model DA-20) with irradiation doses from 1 to 5 Gy. Glow curve analysis was done using GlowFit software for TL, and R Studio software for OSL measurements. The irradiated sample (10 Gy) shows an absorption spectrum similar to the non-irradiated one, containing the same bands. The samples of natural alexandrite showed a linear dose-response for both OSL and TL measurements. From the TL and OSL analyses, it was possible to infer a correlation between the slow OSL component with the most intense TL peaks of alexandrite.
