Borates have shown to be ffcient materials to be employed for ionizing radiation detection given their tissue-equivalent characteristics.Usually, the eficiency of these compounds are largely dependent on the preparation methods and conditions. In this worknominally pure and Dy-doped strontium borates have been prepared by sol-gel method. The thermoluminescence and radioluminescenceof the resulting borates have been investigated and correlated to their structural properties.
