Trap level spectroscopic investigations have been carried out on LiF doped (separately) with uranium and americium using EPR, TSL and TSL-spectral techniques. These studies, apart from obtaining trap parameters-trap depths and frequency factors-helped in elucidating the processes that occur in electron and hole trapping and their subsequent recombination on thermal stimulation. In the uranium-doped sample the electron trapping by U<sup>6+</sup> complexes (UO<sub>6-</sub>)<sup>6-</sup> and (UO<sub>5</sub>F)<sup>5-</sup> at (LiF<sub>6-</sub>)<sup>5-</sup> sites and subsequent electron-hole recombination at U<sup>6+</sup> has been identified as the predominant mode of TSL. In <sup>241</sup>Am-doped sample americium has been found to be stabilised in the divalent state. Whereas in the high-temperature region F-centre production and Am<sup>2+</sup> to or from Am<sup>3+</sup> were found to be the dominant modes of electron and hole trapping, respectively, in the region below room temperature Am<sup>2+</sup> to or from Am<sup>+</sup> and production of U<sub>3</sub> centres (hydrogen atoms at F<sup>-</sup> sites) were found to be the dominant modes of electron and hole trapping, respectively. In both high-temperature and sub-room-temperature regions electron-hole recombination results in the creation of electronically excited Am<sup>2+</sup> resulting in the luminescence of Am<sup>2+</sup> on thermal stimulation. |
