Question

I need study about thermoluminescence dose response of the crystals grown naturally on rocks.

Answer 1

The phenomenon of thermoluminescence can be described as
follows. A solid sample, usually an insulator material, is excited,
characteristically by ionizing radiation at certain low temperature.
Yet another version is when it is a naturally occurring material
irradiated by the radiation field in its natural surroundings. At the
end of this stage, the sample is placed in an appropriate oven. This
period of heating is also called “read out” stage. At this stage, the
temperature of the oven is raised gradually, typically at a constant
heating rate and light emission as a function of temperature is recorded using a light sensitive detector such as a photomultiplier. This emitted Light as a function of temperature yields the so-called thermolumines- cence glow curve.
