A Note on the Analysis of First-Order Glow Curves

Abstract
Simple equations are developed which permit the calculation of the trap depth and frequency factor of first-order glow curves from the temperatures of the peak and the half-height. The equation for the trap depth does not depend explicitly on the frequency factor or the heating rate and is accurate to 5 percent over a wide range. Application is made to theoretical glow curves and to an experimental glow curve obtained from the thermoluminescence of ice.
