“…A typical glow curve of the microcrystalline phosphor consists of one very prominent peak at around 494 K, which is known as a dosimetry peak along with two other peaks one on each side at around 406 and 594 K along with a small shoulder on high temperature side at around 673 K. This is not very much different than the glow curve structure reported in the literature (Atone et al, 1995;Azorin et al, 1984) while, the glow curve of the nanocrystalline material is very much different than that of the microcrystalline phosphor consisting of obvious peaks at around 411, 498, 569, and 652 K. To confirm, whether the glow curve consists of those peaks, they were separated by thermal cleaning method (Necmeddin and Yakup, 2001). It has been observed that there exists one more peak of lesser intensity at around 447 K (Fig.…”
