doped calcium chloro phosphate to elucidate the role of the electron/hole traps in thermally stimulated reactions and to
obtain trap parameters from both TSL and EPR data. TSL glow peaks around 135 K (# peak 1), 190 K (# peak 2), 435 K (# peak
5) and 490 K (# peak 7) were observed and their spectral characteristics have shown that Pu3+ and UO

and ClO]2− under different conditions. Whereas the ClO]2− radical being stable up to 700 K, was not found to have any role in TSL processes, the thermal destruction of other centres
was found to be primarily responsible for the TSL peaks observed. The trap depth values were determined both by using the
TSL data and also the temperature variation of EPR spectra of these centres. |
