The effectiveness of ornamental building materials (tiles) for retrospective thermoluminescence dosimetry

Like many other decorative building materials, tiles are one of the most precious ornamental ingredients for making a lucrative building image. It not only offers beauty and luxury but also added value by protecting/monitoring ionizing radiation. In this study, the utmost regular use of seven variet...
