Two kinds of CVD diamond films were investigated with respect to their thermoluminescent (TL) properties, especially concerning their sensitivity to ionising radiation and to daylight. The films were characterised by means of Raman/photoluminescence/FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, RBS and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA). Thermoluminescent (TL) responses of these materials to photons provided by radionuclide 55Fe source (≈6 keV) over the dose range from 1 to 100 mGy were measured. Typical TL glowcurve is a result of two components, one with maximum in range 160–180 °C and the second, between 307–327 °C. In irradiated samples, the first peak is caused by the exposure to daylight, which increases overall TL signal, the second is caused by irradiation by ?-photons. Exploitation of TL properties of CVD diamonds for a photon dosimetry is possible after careful daylight shielding. The sensitivity of used CVD diamond dosimeters was 10 times less than that of TLD 100 (LiF: Mg, Ti) Harshaw dosimeter. (© 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
