摘要
Nano-particles of CaF2:Mn were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. Optically transparent ceramics were obtained by vacuum hot-pressing at 1000 degrees C under 20 MPa pressure for 2 h. The duration of pressure and dehydration of the initial powder was found important to achieve the transparency. 50% transparency was observed for a polished disc of 1 mm thickness. SEM micrographs revealed the absence of voids in hot pressed samples. These samples were found to be highly sensitive and linear for TLD and can measure doses from mGy to kGy.
