This paper reviews the physics of the phenomenon of thermoluminescence (TL) related to
dosimetric applications. Basic concepts are given using the one trap—one recombination …

The technical and dosimetric aspects of computerised glow curve analysis are described in
detail including a review of the current 'state-of-the-achieved'in applications to …

We describe the theory of heavy charged particle (HCP) response (efficiency and
supralinearity) in thermoluminescent (TL) materials. The HCP TL relative efficiency is treated …

We describe the development of a comprehensive theory of thermoluminescence (TL) dose
response, the unified interaction model (UNIM). The UNIM is based on both radiation …

This review summarizes the efforts of the TL research community over the past few decades,
and in particular the efforts of the “Needle in the Haystack” group at the Sami Shamoon …

While there are innumerable devices that measure temperature, the nonvolatile
measurement of thermal history is far more difficult, particularly for sensors embedded in …

A model allowing theoretical prediction of the maximum possible energy conversion
efficiency of a thermoluminescence (TL) material has been described. The model is based …

Non-first order (FO) kinetics models are of three types; second order (SO), general order
(GO) and mixed order (MO). It is shown that all three of these have constraints in their energy …

We describe the effect of nanoscale spatially coupled trapping centre (TC)–luminescent
centre (LC) pairs on the thermoluminescence (TL) properties of LiF: Mg, Ti. It is shown that …

A conduction band/valence band kinetic model for thermoluminescence (TL) dose response
is described which incorporates both localized and delocalized recombination mechanisms …
