In this paper, MgSO4:Dy,MgSO4:Tm and MgSO4:Mn phosphors are prepare by high temperature solid state reaction. The MgSO4:Dy or MgSO4:Tm powder are mixed and sintered with MgSO4:Mn respectively to obtain the co-doped MgSO4:Dy,Mn and MgSO4:Tm,Mn phosphors. The 3-dimensional thermoluminescence spectra of these two phosphors under different sintering temperature are measured.Results show that when the sintering temperature is below 800°C, Dy, Tm and Mn ions emissions are independent. However, when the sintering temperature was over 800°C, the emission peak of Mn becomes weaker, and so do the low temperature peaks of Dy and Tm, while the high temperature peaks of Dy and Tm become stronger. This indicated that the defect complex structure in the formation of the thermoluminescence material depends on the sintering temperature. As the sintering temperature rises, more and more Mn ions combine with the rare earth ions. Therefore, the luminescence process of the energy transfer of Mn ions to the rare earth ions can be observed and the suppression to low temperature peaks of Tm and Dy, and also shown in spectra.

We investigated the influence of terbium and thulium trivalent rare-earth (RE) ions co-doping on the luminescent properties enhancement of LiMgPO4 (LMP) crystal host. The studied crystals were grown from the melt by micro-pulling-down (MPD) technique. Luminescent properties of the obtained crystals were investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) method. The most favorable properties and the highest luminescence enhancement were measured for Tb and Tm double doped crystals. A similar luminescence level can be also obtained for Tm, B co-doped samples. In this case, however, the low-temperature TL components have a significant contribution. The measured luminescent spectra showed a typical emission of Tb3+ and Tm3+ ions of an opposite trapping nature, namely the holes and electron-trapping sites, respectively. The most prominent transitions of 5D4 → 7F3 (550 nm for Tb3+) and 1D2 → 3F4 (450 nm for Tm3+) were observed. It was also found that Tb3+ and Tm3+ emissions show temperature dependence in the case of double doped LMP crystal sample, which was not visible in the case of the samples doped with a single RE dopant. At a low temperature range (up to around 290 °C) Tm3+ emission was dominant. At higher temperatures, the electrons occupying Tm3+ sites started to be released giving rise to emissions from Tb-related recombination centers, and emissions from Tm3+ centers simultaneously decreased. At the highest temperatures, emission took place from Tb3+ recombination centers, but only from deeper 5D4 level-related traps which had not been emptied at a lower temperature range.
