Abstract
Any experimental Thermoluminescent (TL) glow-peak contains the activation energy information of its corresponding energy level within the band gap in insulating materials. The theory of peak shape methods (PSM) correlates the macroscopic geometrical characteristics of a single TL peak with activation energy of the level responsible for the TL peak by assuming that the area under a TL peak can be approximated by the area of a triangle. In this way the geometrical characteristics becomes the measure of the activation energy. In the present work new PSM expressions are derived, which are not empirical as the existing ones but are based of the physical model of one trap one recombination (OTOR) center. Three cases are considered. (I) Delocalized OTOR for re-trapping probability smaller than the recombination probability. (II) Delocalized OTOR for re-trapping probability greater than recombination probability. (III) Localized transitions OTOR model. The system of differential equations of each case model were solved analytically using the Lambert function (or equivalently the Wright function). Then the resulted analytical expressions of TL intensity as a function of temperature were used to derive new PSM. The new PSM from all cases are formally exactly the same, having, however, strong differentiation in their coefficients. The functionality of the new expressions is tested and its comparison with pre-existing PSM is performed.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
