Abstract

In the present work, aniline doped aluminum oxide films were prepared by the Sol-Gel technique for gamma radiation dosimetry. Aniline (AN) was suggested to enhance the electrical conductivity of films. Measured conductivity due to gamma radiation was studied in the 0-10 kGy dose range. Conductivity was enhanced with AN doping. Conductivity and sensitivity values up to 150 (μΩ–1.cm–1) and 3.75 (mA.cm 2.kGy 1) respectively were achieved at 0.25 g AN content and 25 V bias.
