Theoretical Analysis of Simulated First Order TL Glow Peaks

One of the main goals of a thermoluminescence (TL) studies is to obtain data from an experimental glow curve and to use these data in order to calculate values for the TL kinetic parameters, trap depth (E), frequency factor (s) and order of kinetics (b), associated with the charge transfer process in the material under study. However, calculating the TL kinetic parameters does not necessarily mean that we fully understand them. E, s and b values only tell us about the defect model with which they are associated. In this study, the first order non-overlapping and complex TL glow peaks were simulated and their kinetic parameters, peak shapes, peak positions and energy-level diagrams were studied in details
