Investigation of thermoluminescent properties of synthetic (CVD) diamond

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Thermoluminescent properties of three samples of synthetic diamond obtained by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were investigated. The thermoluminescent response of the three samples was observed increasing linearly with radiation exposure over a wide range of doses (from 60 mGy up to 3 Gy). The measurement of their activation energies and frequency factors are reported. First-order kinetics was observed in the three cases.
