Study on thermally stimulated exoelectron emission as a basis for high dose measurement and its relation to thermally stimulated current
Thermally stimulated exoelectron emission (TSEE) was studied in order to utilize this for measuring high doses with good reproducibility. Using CaSO/sub 4/, a slight trend of saturation was found at 10/sup 6/ R in the relation between TSE and irradiated dose. Fading effect of TSEE was rather small compared with the cases of other papers but gas pressure effect was rather large. To make clear the mechanism of TSEE, relations amorg TSE, thermally stimulated current and thermally stimulated light were studied for different crystalographic oriertations of samples. Peak positions of the latter two phenomena correspond to those of TSE to some extent. Samples used were CaF/sub 2/, LiF, rock crystal and sapphire. (auth)
