Phototransferred Thermoluminescence (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Thermoluminescence is a well-established technique for studying point defects in insulators and semiconductors and appears under controlled heating of an irradiated material. Changes in electron trapping-defects and luminescence sites can readily be monitored in temperature-wavelength-intensity isometric plots. If the thermoluminescence measured off one electron trap is due to electrons optically transferred from another, then that thermoluminescence is eponymously 'phototransferred'.

This book is devoted to contemporary developments in phototransferred thermoluminescence and is suitable for researchers with an interest in the study of point-defects using stimulated luminescence methods. Topics presented include principles of thermal stimulation as they relate to phototransfer, experimental techniques for its measurement and analytical methods with emphasis on their application to time-response profiles. The measurement, analysis and mechanisms of phototransferred thermoluminescence in selected synthetic materials, natural ones and other materials of various research interest are presented in separate chapters. The final chapter also provides snapshots, for interested readers, on applications.

Autorenporträt

Makaiko Chithambo is a professor of physics and head of the physics department at Rhodes University in South Africa, the immediate past-President of the South African Institute of Physics and a member of the Academy of Science of South Africa. He earned his PhD from the University of Edinburgh and his MPhil from the University of Sussex. Prof. Chithambo's research interests are in the study of point-defects in materials using luminescence methods, with special focus on time-resolved optical stimulation techniques. He has published widely in this area and has long standing interest in thermoluminescence, thermoluminescence spectra and radioluminescence.
