Highlights: • TL properties of SnO{sub 2}:Eu{sup 3+} were reported upon γ-ray irradiation. • Effect of doping, irradiation dose and heating rate on TL properties were studied in detail. • The kinetic parameters associated with TL were calculated for first time in SnO{sub 2}:Eu{sup 3+}. • Existence of second-order kinetics indicates the occurrence of retrapping phenomena. • Retrapping of electrons at deep traps occurred due to thermal energy stimulation. - Abstract: This paper reports the thermoluminescence properties of Eu{sup 3+} doped SnO{sub 2} phosphors synthesized by combustion method. The thermoluminescence (TL) studies were carried out after irradiating the sample by γ-rays in the dose range 100 Gy to 1 KGy. The glow curves of γ-irradiated phosphors were resolved into two peaks, one centred at 116 °C and other at 300 °C. Intensity of the glow peak increases linearly in the studied dose range of γ-rays. Kinetic parameters such as order of kinetics, trap depth and frequency factor associated with the glow peak were calculated by various glow curve methods.
