New handling of thermoluminescence glow curve deconvolution expressions for different kinetic orders based on OTOR model

Abstract

Abstract The exact equations of the thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve deconvolution that describe the intensity of a single TL glow peak of different order kinetics, which are obtained from the one trap-one recombination (OTOR) level model, are considered. The reformulation of the expressions of the intensities of TL glow peaks in terms of the peak intensity I M , peak position T M , and the activation energy ∈, for each order of kinetics are achieved. The authors developed a MATLAB computer code, which utilizes the obtained equations, to computationally deconvolute the TL glow curves. The code is used to investigate the reference glow curves of the GLOCANIN program. The obtained results agree with those previously reported by the GLOCANIN project with better values of the figure of merits FOM. The considerations of the obtained equations show promising trends to understand a peak formation for different order kinetics that belong to the OTOR level model.
