Abstract In this work we performed experimental analyses of the dose-response curves natural alexandrite, using thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). The alexandrite crystals from Bahia, Brazil, were pulverized optical absorption measurements carried out in range 200 to 800 nm, comparing a non-irradiated sample with 10 Gy beta irradiated one.
