Abstract
Abstract A lithium fluoride thermo-luminescent material with increased sensitivity, which comprises crystals or powdery crystallites of lithium fluoride having present therein (A) luminescent center consisting of magnesium and at least one element or more selected from the elemental group consisting of copper, silver, and gold, and (B) sensitizer therefor consisting of at least one element or more selected from the elemental group consisting of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, selenium and tellurium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A thermo-luminescent material which comprises crystals or powdery crystallites of lithium fluoride having present therein (A) activators consisting of from 0.05 to 1.0 mol% of magnesium in combination with at least one element selected from the elemental group consisting of copper, silver, and gold, in amount of 0.05-1.0 mol%, respectively, with respect to the LiF, and (B) sensitizers therefor consisting of at least one element selected from the group consisting of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, selenium and tellurium in amount of 0.1 - 5.0 mol% respectively with respect to the LiF.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A thermo-luminescent material which comprises crystals or powdery crystallites of lithium fluoride having present therein (A) activators consisting of from 0.05 to 1.0 mol% of magnesium in combination with at least one element selected from the elemental group consisting of copper, silver, and gold, in amount of 0.05-1.0 mol%, respectively, with respect to the LiF, and (B) sensitizers therefor consisting of at least one element selected from the group consisting of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, selenium and tellurium in amount of 0.1 - 5.0 mol% respectively with respect to the LiF.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
133 words
A process for the preparation of a thermo-luminescent material, which process comprises adding to crystals or powdery crystallites of LiF (A) activators consisting of 0.05 - 1.0 mol% of magnesium and at least one element selected from the elemental group consisting of copper, silver, and gold, in amount of 0.05 - 1.0 mol%, respectively, with respect to the LiF, and (B) a sensitizer therefor consisting of at least one element selected from the elemental group consisting of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, selenium, and tellurium in amount of 0.1 - 5.0 mol%, respectively, with respect to the LiF to obtain a powdery mixture thereof; and heating said mixture at a temperature of from 700° to 1100° C. under an inert gas stream for a period of from about 30 minutes to about 3 hours.
