There is a permanent effort to search for natural and artificial materials with thermoluminescent properties useful for radiation dosimetry. In the aim to understand the radiation interactions with these materials, several features are determined. Here, the performance to photons and neutrons of MgB₄O₇:Dy and Mg₂B₂O₅:Dy,Na were studied. The mass interaction coefficients, the linear attenuation coefficients, the mean free path and the Z_eff for photons were calculated. In addition, the absorbed dose response to gamma rays and neutrons were estimated. The linear attenuation coefficients to gamma-rays for MBO:Dy,Na is larger than the coefficients for MBO:Dy due the density and Dy concentration, however the absorbed dose response for both materials are approximately the same due to the Z_eff. The absorbed dose response to monoenergetic neutrons and those from isotopic neutron sources, and with Maxwellian distribution has the same trend. This response is larger for ²⁵²Cf/D₂O; the absorbed dose response to neutrons is larger for MBO:Dy due to the boron concentration.

人们一直在努力寻找具有热发光特性的天然和人造材料，这些材料可用于辐射剂量测定。为了理解与这些材料的辐射相互作用，确定了几个特征。在这里，研究了MgB ₄ O ₇：Dy和Mg ₂ B ₂ O ₅：Dy，Na对光子和中子的性能。质量相互作用系数，线性衰减系数，平均自由程和Z _eff计算光子。另外，估计了对γ射线和中子的吸收剂量响应。由于密度和Dy浓度，MBO：Dy，Na对伽马射线的线性衰减系数大于MBO：Dy的系数，但是由于Z _eff，两种材料的吸收剂量响应大致相同。对单能中子和同位素中子源的吸收剂量响应，以及麦克斯韦分布，具有相同的趋势。对于²⁵² Cf / D ₂ O，此响应较大。由于硼浓度，MBO：Dy对中子的吸收剂量响应较大。
