Phototransferred thermoluminescence of quartz

摘要

We investigate the thermoluminescence (TL) of natural quartz at low temperatures. The samples were given different thermal treatments, followed by gamma; irradiation at room temperature, illumination with UV light at -100 degreesC and readout of the TL signal. At least five peaks were observed in the TL glow curves of these samples. The dependence of these TL signals on the heating temperature and UV illumination enable us to propose plausible phototransfer mechanisms at low temperatures. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
