A simple method for preparing LiCaAlF 6 :Eu 2+ phosphor is reported. Photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL) studies were carried out. The TL sensitivity of the phosphor is nearly twice that of CaSO 4 :Dy TLD phosphor. Several other properties required for TL dosimetry are superior as well. It is suggested that the phosphor can be a suitable replacement for CaSO 4 :Dy. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
