The Thermoluminescence Parameters of Irradiated K-Feldspar
Abstract
Isothermal decay of the TL glow curve has been studied at ambient temperature. Heating of feldspar at 600ºC leads to increased sensitivity of the samples upon irradiation for the whole range of glow curve. In general, we observe a sensitivity increase of about five times. Fading of the glow curve is observed at the low-temperature part of the glow curve while it has been kept in the dark at the ambient, constant temperature. After a certain period, approximately in 40 to 50 days, the low-temperature region of the glow curve fades down while the high-temperature part remains unchanged. Peaks at the low-temperature region of the TL glow curve were isolated by the curve subtraction method. Activation energy and frequency factor parameters of the isolated peaks were calculated, taking first and second-order kinetics into account. The values of the calculated activation energy vary between 0.7 to 1.1 eV, and frequency factor values of the isolated peaks change within the order of 109 to 1013s-1. The µ values clearly indicate that all isolated peaks are more likely to be second-order kinetics.
