  • Abstract
    In a pilot study to determine phosphor response after microwave exposure, a reduction in the expected amount of light emitted during thermoluminescent (TL) analysis was observed after exposure to microwave radiation of a phosphor preirradiated with cobalt-60 gamma radiation. Investigation of the thermoluminescent response of some high dielectric-constant materials after microwave exposure revealed the fading phenomenon in the powdered and ceramic states of the phosphors.
