  Several samples of lithium aluminate (LiAlO2) were prepared in an attempt to
achieve material, which can be applicable in optically stimulated luminescence
(OSL) dosimetry. Both undoped and carbon or copper doped lithium aluminate
samples were investigated. The results of preliminary study of theirs
reproducibility, sensitivity, dose response characteristic and fading are
presented. Applications in mixed field (beta, alpha, neutrons) dosimetry are
discussed.
