Popis: SrZnF4:Dy phosphor was prepared by the wet chemical synthesis and characterized for its X-ray diffraction, thermoluminescence (TL) and photoluminescence (PL) properties. The PL emission spectra for SrZnF4:Dy3+ phosphor at 351 nm excitation give emission at 481 nm (blue) and 575 nm (yellow). The TL properties of SrZnF4:Dy were studied using β-irradiation. The response curve of the prepared phosphor with high-dose β-ray exposure is linear as compared with well-known CaSO4:Dy phosphor. The TL glow curves of SrZnF4:Dy sample showed two well-defined peaks at 143°C (peak-1) and 231°C (peak-2) indicating that two sets of traps are being activated within the particular temperature range and the trapping parameter associated with the prominent glow peaks of SrZnF4:Dy is calculated by using Chen's method.
