Beschreibung
Thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) are two of the most important techniques used in radiation dosimetry. They have extensive practical applications in the monitoring of personnel radiation exposure, in medical dosimetry, environmental dosimetry, spacecraft, nuclear reactors, food irradiation etc., and in geological /archaeological dating.
Thermally and Optically Stimulated Luminescence: A Simulation Approach describes these phenomena, the relevant theoretical models and their prediction, using both approximations and numerical simulation. The authors concentrate on an alternative approach in which they simulate various experimental situations by numerically solving the relevant coupled differential equations for chosen sets of parameters.
Opening with a historical overview and background theory, other chapters cover experimental measurements, dose dependence, dating procedures, trapping parameters, applications, radiophotoluminescence, and effects of ionization density.
Designed for practitioners, researchers and graduate students in the field of radiation dosimetry, Thermally and Optically Stimulated Luminescence provides an essential synthesis of the major developments in modeling and numerical simulations of thermally and optically stimulated processes.
Authored by leading researchers in the field, this book addresses the underlying physics of thermal luminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and summarizes the various models in the literature for OSL, TL and radioluminescence (RL) phenomena. It also emphasizes results obtained from simulations, which can add a new dimension to results from theoretical considerations and are necessary for understanding the basic physical nature of TL/OSL processes; and discusses the most relevant aspects of the topic, such as TL peaks, dose-dependence and dose-rate effects, and trapping parameters.
