This study primarily reported the thermoluminescence (TL) behavior of Mg2SiO4 host. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed that Mg2SiO4 exhibits orthorhombic structure matched with JCPDS card 900-6398. Dose response, reproducibility and trap parameters of TL glow curves were evaluated to clearly reveal TL features. Two TL glow peaks situated at 81 degrees C and 192 degrees C were monitored at a heating rate of 2 degrees Cs-1. We observed anomalous heating rate effect for the peak centered at 192 degrees C whilst TL intensity of the peak at 81 degrees C decreases with elevating heating rate. Trap depths of the electrons within the trap centers were found to be 1.04 +/- 0.01eV and 1.37 +/- 0.01eV for both methods using peak shape (PS) method. Distribution of trap centers was examined using the T-max - T-stop method and this case indicated that the glow curves consist of single TL peaks. The intensity of TL glow curves exhibited a good linear dose response under total area up to 20 Gy. A comparison of the two preparation techniques revealed that TL characteristics of this phosphor are partly dependent and Mg2SiO4 could be a promising material for dosimetric application.
