Abstract
In this study, the preparation and characterization of copper (Cu) and terbium (Tb) co-doped lithium borate glass using spectroscopic and thermoluminescence techniques are reported. A thermal treatment was introduced to increase the degree of crystallinity. The thermoluminescence glow curve signal of the samples displayed upon exposure to beta radiation was measured and analyzed. It was found that the samples doped with 0.1% of copper and co-doped with 0.3% terbium showed the highest thermoluminescent (TL) signal in response to the irradiated dose. The analyses revealed that the glow curves of the doped samples were composed of nine overlapping glow peaks with activation energies between 0.73 and 2.78 eV. As a whole area under the glow curve, the TL signals displayed a linear dose response in the range from 110 mGy to 55 Gy. The minimum detectible dose of the samples was found to be 10.39 µGy. It was found that peaks 1 and 2 disappear after one day of storage. The rest of the peaks (3-9) remain almost constant up to 74 days of storage.

Abstract
Characterization of thermoluminescence (TL) properties of lithium borate glass samples doped with different concentrations of dysprosium (Dy) was carried out. Samples were prepared using a melting method at 1100°C and irradiated with β-particles. The glass samples doped with 0.1% Dy displayed the best TL dosimetric properties compared with other compositions. Deconvoluted analyses of the glow curves displayed five overlapping TL glow peaks located between 392.0 and 510.3 K. A good linear TL dose-response for β-particles was obtained in the dose range 66.6 mGy to 33.3 Gy. The minimum detectible dose was evaluated to be 205.4 μGy and samples revealed thermal fading in 312 h to 29% of their original value.

Abstract
The effect of sodium as a co-dopant on the thermoluminescence (TL) properties of copper-doped zinc lithium borate (ZLB: Cu) subjected to Co-60 gamma radiation is reported in this study. TL intensity is enhanced with the introduction of sodium in ZLB: Cu. The obtained glow curve is simple with a single peak. The annealing procedure and the best heating rate for the proposed thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) are established, and the phosphor is reusable. The TL response within the dose range of 0.5-1000Gy is investigated. The results show that the thermal fading behaviour is improved significantly.
