The radioluminescence (RL) spectra of three types of quartz have been compared to those obtained from wavelength resolved thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) measurements. A detailed numerical deconvolution into Gaussian components allowed to identify which of the bands are involved in either types of luminescence processes. The blue "A band" at 2.51 eV was confirmed to dominate both RL and TSL spectra in samples exposed to prolonged irradiation. The UV emission of the 110°C TSL peak was found to be composite. Analogously to what previously reported for RL spectra, an annealing at 500°C for 10 min induced a strong enhancement of the "C band" at 3.42 eV. This effect was particularly evident in natural and pre-irradiated quartz. A second intense UV component, the "M band" at 3.7 eV, was found to contribute to both TSL and RL spectra of samples annealed at 1000°C for 10 min. A further broad UV emission seems to be involved only in RL emission but not in the TSL one.

Abstract
The radioluminescence (RL) spectra of three types of quartz have been compared to those obtained from wavelength resolved thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) measurements. A detailed numerical deconvolution into Gaussian components allowed to identify which of the bands are involved in either types of luminescence processes. The blue "A band" at 2.51 eV was confirmed to dominate both RL and TSL spectra in samples exposed to prolonged irradiation. The UV emission of the 110°C TSL peak was found to be composite. Analogously to what previously reported for RL spectra, an annealing at 500°C for 10 min induced a strong enhancement of the "C band" at 3.42 eV. This effect was particularly evident in natural and pre-irradiated quartz. A second intense UV component, the "M band" at 3.7 eV, was found to contribute to both TSL and RL spectra of samples annealed at 1000°C for 10 min. A further broad UV emission seems to be involved only in RL emission but not in the TSL one.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
