The preparation of lithium fluoride with thermoluminescence properties suitable for use in radiation dosimetry has been investigated. Variants based on magnesium and titanium additions have been prepared and examined from the viewpoint of activator concentration, role of secondary impurity and purity of the lithium fluoride starting material. The following properties were examined, impurity distribution and luminescence distribution within the crystal, emission spectrum, dose response characteristics and optical absorption. A sensitive thermoluminescent preparation may be obtained by the addition of magnesium alone to a readily available source of lithium fluoride.
