The authors examine thermostimulated luminescence for lithium fluoride single crystals in relation to the method of producing the initial raw material and the features of the preliminary treatment. They conclude that only especially pure lithium fluoride made via the hydrofluoride, which is then decomposed, can be used without additional treatment to make single crystal thermoluminescent dosimeters having low intensities for lowtemperature peaks.
