Kinetic parameters of some tissue equivalent thermoluminescence materials

The paper reports a study on the kinetic parameters of some thermoluminescent tissue equivalent materials recently prepared in Vinca Institute: Li 2 B 4 O 7 :Mn,Si, Li 2 B 4 O 7 :Cu, Li 2 B 4 O 7 :Cu,In and MgB 4 O 7 :Dy,Na. The kinetics parameters have been determined using several methods. The temperature lag effect, which could produce large errors in the parameters' determination when they are determined using high heating rates, has also been taken into consideration.
