Thermoluminescence of X-Ray-Colored KCl Single Crystals

Abstract
Thermoluminescence curves of KCl single crystals have been recorded. Twelve glow peaks were obtained in the temperature range of 90-600°K. The glow peaks seem to show regularity with regard to their peak temperatures, spectral emission and sensitivity to optical bleaching in the F band. Effects of aging of the crystals are reported. Activation energies for several peaks as calculated from the results are also given.
