Development of the peak fitting and peak shape methods to analyze the thermoluminescence glow-curves generated with exponential heating function

The deconvolution of thermoluminescence glow-curves using general expressions derived from the one trap-one recombination (OTOR) level model

“…7 and 8 in the deconvolution process. Indeed, these expressions showed a good accuracy in describing the glow-peaks generated with EHF under the fundamentals of the OTOR model (Sadek et al, 2014B).…”

“…The analytical expressions deduced by Kitis and Vlachos (2013) were developed by Sadek et al (2014B) to fit the single glow-peak generated with exponential heating function (EHF). In the case of EHF profile, the TL expressions are identical with Eqs.1 (or 7) and 2 (or 8) for , and , respectively, except that the terms and in this case are given as:…”

“…In addition, they are based on a physical model. These equations were later developed to fit the glow-peaks generated with exponential heating function (EHF) (Sadek et al, 2014B). However, they never been applied on experimental glow-curves.…”

Influence of the infrared stimulation on the optically stimulated luminescence in four K-feldspar samples

“…The superiority of using Eq. (1) for the case of TL, relative to the empirical general and mixed order kinetics equations, was shown in detail by Sadek et al [13][14][15][16].…”

tgcd: An R package for analyzing thermoluminescence glow curves

“…Recently, Kitis and Vlachos [15] developed new semianalytical expressions for TL glow peaks based on the one trapone recombination center (OTOR) model using the Lambert W function. Sadek et al [16,17] found that the developed OTOR TL expressions can accurately describe TL glow peaks even in cases where other TL expressions have failed. Sadek et al [18] suggested that OTOR TL expressions are the most suitable expressions to use in deconvolution of experimental glow curves given that the peak fitting method applying these expressions can provide accurate values for activation energy of glow peaks whether re-trapping or recombination is dominated.…”
