Abstract: | An interactive mixed-order thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve deconvolution function is presented for the first time in which the retrapping of thermally stimulated charge carriers in deep traps during the heating stage is taken into account. Considering this transition in the set of differential equations by describing the TL process and by solving them, an analytical function for TL intensity was obtained. This equation reduces to the known deconvolution function for the mixed-order model in the limiting case of saturation of deep trapping (DT) states. In intermediate cases, where the DT states are partially occupied, the proposed function acts as a real interactive model which allows the thermally stimulated electrons to be retrapped to deep electron traps. Applicability of the proposed model in a real TL system is also presented and discussed. |
