Thermal quenching of luminescence in six thermoluminescent dosimetry phosphors—I

Nd2O3: Eu3+nanocrystalline phosphor–a new potential thermoluminescing material for dosimetry

“…So at a higher temperature T 2 , the same amount of thermal release is required to take place at 2. In this way, the whole glow curve and hence the glow peak temperature increases with the heating rate in a manner depending on the half-life and the time spent at each temperature. Similar results were observed by Gorbics et al [9]. These authors observed a decrease of both integral area and the peak TL intensity versus heating rate, and assigned it to thermal quenching whose efficiency increases as the temperature increases.…”

Thermoluminescence characteristics of rare-earth-doped LiCaBO3 phosphor

“…In Fig. 11, the TL intensity is plotted against the heating rate and it can be seen that the TL intensity decreases with the heating rate, which is due to the thermal quenching [15]. Fig.…”

Dependence of peak height of glow curves on heating rate in thermoluminescence

“…This is because the peak height does not increase in direct proportion with the increase of heating rate b as demonstrated by Eq. (1.6a) [8,9].…”
