Continuing developmental work into optical dating has led to some clarification of the optical behaviour of quartz and feldspar sediment extracts. We have verified the key assumption …
AS Murray, AG Wintle - Radiation measurements, 2000 - Elsevier
Single aliquot protocols are now widely used as a means of measuring the equivalent dose (De) in quartz and feldspar optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of both heated and …

In the last 30 years, from 1967 to 1997, the use of luminescence signals from naturally occurring minerals has gone though a major metamorphosis, from thermoluminescence (TL) …
Coarse grained quartz has been widely used for optical dating due to its natural abundance, lack of fading and, as was found by Godfrey-Smith et al (1988), the fact that the quartz OSL …
G Hütt, I Jaek, J Tchonka - Quaternary Science Reviews, 1988 - Elsevier
K-feldspars were exposed to optical stimulation using different wavelengths and the resulting emissions studied. The existence of a rather deep light-sensitive trap (∼ 2eV) is …
Three exponential components have been isolated from observed high temperature OSL decay data of quartz. These components have been found to display differential bleaching …
The paper reviews basic spectral features of luminescence from minerals used in dating and allied research. Luminescence production is a result of multiple interactions within the …
The principles behind a regenerative-dose single-aliquot protocol are outlined. It is shown for three laboratory-bleached Australian sedimentary quartz samples that the relative …
RG Roberts, R Jones, NA Spooner, MJ Head… - Quaternary Science …, 1994 - Elsevier
The date at which people entered Australia has important implications for the debate on modern human origins. Thermoluminescence dates of 50–60 ka, reported for initial …
