Ion Size Effect on Glow Peak Temperature in Dielectric Binary Mixed Crystals Doped With Divalent Europium

Thermoluminiscence measurements at room temperature of ``beta'' irradiated divalent Europium doped binary mixed alkali halides with RbCl and KBr components at several concentrations x in molar fraction are carried out. The experiments have been carried out to identify the effect of composition in thermoluminiscense glow peaks. A typical glow peak has been distinguished for each composition. A linear dependence of its temperature on the composition x has been found. This is principally associated with the radii size change of halogen ions. Comparison with results in mixed KCl:KBr. KBr:RbBr and KCl:RbCl support that assertion.
