In this research, thermoluminescent pellets were prepared by adding Mg, Cu, Na and Si impurities to lithium fluoride (LiF) crystal powder via melting and quenching methods to study dosimetric characteristics. Here, its reproducibility, dose response, dosimeter sensitivity, thermal and optical fading were investigated and the obtained results were compared with the properties of LiF: Cu, Mg, P crystal nominated as GR-200.
