Abstract
Hackmanite has received extensive attention from scholars in recent years. However, there is still no report on the thermoluminescence properties of natural hackmanites under UV irradiation, as well as its relative electron trap and luminescence center. In this paper, the structural defects and thermoluminescence spectroscopic properties of hackmanite are comprehensively characterized by XRD, TL spectroscopy, SEM, EPR, XPS and Raman spectroscopy. The traps depth of TL peaks are calculated by computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) techniques. And the charge transition energy levels of intrinsic defects in Na8Al6Si6O24(Cl,S)2 are calculated by spin-polarized density-functional theory (DFT) in VASP. It shows that the low-temperature TL peaks of hackmanite are associated with Cl vacancies and photochromic properties. The high-temperature peak is caused by marginal oxygen vacancies. The results are conducive to deepening the understanding of structural defects of the hackmanites and linking the thermoluminescence with the phototropy.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
