In order to obtain more information on the relation between thermally stimulated exoelectron emission (TSEE), thermoluminescence (TL), and the impurity content in different TL grade, analytical and technical grade samples of LiF and BeO, a number of experiments have been carried out, in particular (a) semi-quantitative spectroanalysis and mass spectrography, (b) an investigation of the TL sensitivities and glow curves for different dose levels and LET of the radiation, and (c) studies on TSEE sensitivity and peak locations (including their dependence on LET and heating rate). Sintered BeO samples exhibit the highest TSEE sensitivity, in particular after their work function has been reduced by the partial diffusion of inert metals into the surface. The results are discussed on the basis of the existing information on TSEE and TL in LiF and BeO.
