Radiation-induced signals of gypsum crystals analysed by ESR and TL techniques applied to dating

An investigation of the dosimetric and kinetic properties of sand using ESR and TL techniques

“…The differences in the kinetic parameter may be due to the sample features (sand and sandstone) or the technique used (VHRM or IRM). In our previous study (Aydaş et al, 2011); initial rise method gave the lower E value than that obtained by VRHM for the same sample. It was suggested that the reduction in the TL intensity due to thermal quenching during the initial rise run is responsible for the decrease in the value of E (Chen and McKeever, 1997; Petrov and Bailiff, 1997).…”

Behaviour of thermoluminescence green and red emission bands of natural dolomite irradiated with gamma rays

“…For natural samples, the thermoluminescent properties depend on their origin, history, impurities and composition [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, natural thermoluminescence (TL) was used to study the thermal history, radiation history and terrestrial age [5][6][7][8][9]. There are a large number of different carbonate minerals, but only a few of them are commonly occurring in nature.…”

Thermoluminescence Characteristics of Different Types of Natural Marble and the Effect of Annealing Temperatures

“…For natural marble samples, however, the thermoluminescent properties depend on the background associated with the marble and calcite is, however, large and e.g., the orangered emission has been observed in almost 100% of calcites analyzed [5,6] materials origin, history, impurities and composition [7][8][9][10]. Therefore, TL can be used to study the thermal and radiation histories and terrestrial age of the sample under investigation [11][12][13][14][15]. The TL It is therefore, reasonably acceptable to consider the TL properties of marble to be similar to those of calcite.…”
