TL;DR: In this article, established and emerging dosimetry methods are reviewed, which can be used immediately and retrospectively following external ionising radiation exposure, and individual characteristics of these techniques, their limitations and potential for further development are discussed, and their usefulness in specific exposure scenarios is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the luminescence spectra of aliquots of natural transparent adularia from Saint Gothard, Switzerland, that were crushed at different energies, show the irreversible collapse of the UV 290 nm peak.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied TL (210°C TL and pre-dose) and OSL (single and multiple aliquot) procedures to 50 quartz samples extracted from bricks that had been obtained from populated or partly populated settlements in Russia and Ukraine downwind of the Chernobyl NPP.

TL;DR: In this article, a new and simpler stabilization procedure for natural quartz for use as a transfer dosemeter is presented, which is achieved through a single irradiation to a high dose 90 Gy and one annealing at 550°C for 30 min.

TL;DR: The blue thermoluminescence (TL) emission of a complex charoite silicate [ K 4 NaCa 7 Ba 0.75 Mn 0.2 Fe 0.05 ( Si 6 O 15 ) 2 ( Si 2 O 7 ) Si 4 O 9 ( OH ) · 3 ( H 2 O ) ], exhibits a continuum in the trap structure similar to that observed in other natural materials; i.e., the glow curve, that consists of a single broad peak at 350 ∘ C, continuously shifts towards higher temperatures when the sample is preheated up
