Abstract

The spectrophometer model Fluorog 3 will be used to luminescence characterization of ionic crystals, glasses and thin films, applied to dating and ionizing radiation dosimetry. The emission spectra obtained, both UV and VIS regions will be utilized in studies of kinetics emissions related to impurities and defect in the crystalline net and amorphous states. The results will be compared to TL, OSL and ERS ones. (AU)
