Physical Essense of the New Approach to the Thermoluminiscence Dating Technology for Absolute Age Identification of Permafrost

摘要

At this stage of investigations, the authors have managed to set the task of the improvement of the TL dating method in terms of its use in permafrost studies. Also, the results include the formulation of the differential dose dependency equation and present the trend function describing the shift of TL maximal peak from the concentration of trapped electrons for natural quartz samples. It is shown that, based on the natural TL signal, one can determine the concentration of electrons accumulated in the traps using not optical, but thermal properties of the timing mineral. The key advantage of the new physical approach lies in the fact that it does not require complex calibration or precise spectrometric instruments.
