In this work, synthetic polycrystals of undoped- and doped- CaSiO3 with different mol% of Eu (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 4.0 mol%) have been produced and characterized. The purpose of this work is to find the luminescent properties and the effect of the dopant on the crystal structure of the CaSiO3 polycrystal. The method used for the production of these materials was the devitrification method. That is, stoichiometric amounts of CaO and SiO2 were mixed and placed in a high temperature furnace up to 1500 °C for 2 hours and then cooled very slowly up to 24 hours. The synthetic polycrystals obtained were crushed and the obtained powder was used for X- ray diffraction measurements and to find the crystalline phases of the analyzed material. 6 mm diameter and 1 mm thick pellets have also been produced for thermoluminescent (TL) measurements, as well as, 12 mm diameter and 1 mm thick pellets for optical measurements. These pellets were then placed in a high-temperature oven up to 1200 °C for 1 hour to obtain easy-to- handle pellets. The TL measurements of the undoped CaSiO3 sample, irradiated with 650 Gy gamma dose, show a low temperature peak around 138 °C and two other overlapping high temperature peaks around 272 and 333 °C. For the Eu-doped samples, irradiated with 650 Gy gamma dose, the TL responses of the CaSiO3-doped polycrystals show two main TL peaks around 155 °C and 274 °C. This interesting difference between undoped and doped sample is used as an advantage for its use in dosimetry. That is, the high temperature peak around 274 °C for doped sample, not overlapping with other TL peaks, can be more easily analyzed and studied for high- dose dosimetry. The fading of this TL peak with time (Fading) for the CaSiO3 sample doped with 0.05 mol% Eu was analyzed. Optical absorption spectra for all synthetic CaSiO3 polycrystals were analyzed. The optical bandgap values were calculated by the Tauc method and it was found that the bandgap values for the no doped-CaSiO3 sample are lower than those doped with Eu. The maximum optical bandgap value is found for the CaSiO3 sample doped with 0.2 mol% Eu.
