Dysprosium doped calcium fluoride (CaF 2 :Dy) nanoparticles were produced for the first time by using the hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy disper- sive spectrometer (EDS) patterns were utilized to characterize the synthesized material. The particle size of about 43 nm was evaluated from XRD data and supported by the SEM images. The T m T stop and the computerized glow curve de-convolution (CGCD) methods were employed to determine the number of component glow peaks and kinetic parameters of the synthesized nanoparticles. Thermoluminescence glow curve of this phosphor exhibits six overlapping glow peaks. The optimized concentration of Dy impurity was found at 3 mol%. The prepared nanoparticles exhibit a roughly linear dose response to absorbed dose of 1000 Gy received from 60 Co gamma source. This finding recommends this nanomaterial as a good candidate for high dose dosimetry. Other dosimetric features of this novel phosphor are also presented and discussed.
