The Dy 3+-doped Zn 4-xB 6O 13∶xDy 3+ phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction in air at high temperature. The thermoluminescence(TL) glow curves and three-dimensional(3D) spectrum after { 60Co} gamma ray irradiation were studied at 293 K. The emission bands at about 480 nm and 580 nm were observed in the three dimensional(3D) spectrum, which are attributed to the characteristic emission from f-f transitions of Dy 3+ ions. The distributions of traps produced by the irradiation of gamma ray can be altered greatly by the change of the concentrations of Dy 3+ ion doped in Zn 4B 6O 13. The peak temperatures shift to higher temperature with the increasing of concentration of Dy 3+ ions in the studied range, this can enhance thermal stability of dosimeter. All glow peaks shift towards higher temperatures with the increase of irradiation dose, i.e. the thermal activation energy(E) is increased with the enhancement of irradiation dose in the studied range. The trap depth E of the main peak of Zn 3.86B 6O 13∶0.16Dy 3+ phosphor is calculated as 0.73 eV, the frequency factor S=2.43×109 s -1. The TL dose-response curve to 60Co gamma-radiation for Zn 3.84B 6O 13∶0.16Dy in the dose range from 1～100 Gy is linear. The experiment results showed that Zn 3.86B 6O 13∶0.16Dy has potential use as the materials of gamma-ray thermoluminescence dosimeter(TLD) for clinical dosimeter.
