Thermoluminescence (TL) refers to the light emission from materials that were previously exposed to ionizing radiation and subsequently heated, and is of great importance for radiation dosimetry applications. TL can be enhanced through the incorporation of dopants, and Ag has been shown to increase TL in a variety of borate host materials. Here, the incorporation of Ag into Li2MgB4O7, which has yet to be studied for TL and other luminescence phenomena, was investigated. Li2MgB4O7 and the Ag-doped equivalent were synthesized via conventional high-temperature solid-state methods, and the role of Ag as a TL dopant was explored via X-ray diffraction (XRD), The results indicate that Ag incorporation induces significant structural modifications that directly influence the material thermal, and luminescent properties, which could have potential applications in radiation dosimetry, phosphor lighting, and optical sensing.
