Sensitization of 220°C TL peak in quartz separated from sand

Pre-gamma dose thermoluminescence characteristics of muscovite mica

“…The sensitization of 110, 220, 300 and 325°C TL peaks in quartz samples using b or c pre-doses in the range of 0.05-175 kGy followed by post-irradiation heat treatment from 200 to 1200°C have been reported by many authors [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Among minerals, muscovite mica is one of the most inexpensive and abundant mineral that has enormous dosimetric and dating potentials [3].…”
