Radiation Dosimetry Phosphors provides an overview of the synthesis, properties and applications of the materials used for radiation dosimetry and reviews the most appropriate phosphor materials for each radiation dosimetry technique. The book describes the available phosphors used commercially for their applications in the medical field for dose measurements. Although radiation dosimetry phosphors are commercially available, continuous efforts have been made by the research community worldwide to develop new materials or improve already existing materials so as to be used in different areas with low or high levels of radiation. Moreover researchers are still working on developing dosimetric phosphors for OSL, ML, LL, RPL dosimetry as there are very few phosphors which are commercially used for these techniques. So, keeping this idea in view, the book provides an overall view of the phosphors available, low cost synthesis methods, mechanisms involved, emerging trends and new challenges for the development of emerging materials for radiation dosimetry. Radiation Dosimetry Phosphors is suitable for those working in academia and R&D laboratories in the discipline of materials science and engineering and practitioners working in radiation and dosimetry. Provides the fundamental concepts, historical context and review of current phosphors available for radiation dosimetry Reviews low-cost material methods to synthesize and characterize rare earth doped inorganic phosphors for different kinds of radiation dosimetry techniques Discusses the key barriers and potential solutions to enable commercial realization phosphors for radiation dosimetry applications
