Abstract
The isothermal decay of the thermoluminescence of single crystals of lithium fluoride activated by x-rays has been determined at various temperatures. The results are interpreted in terms of a simple reaction rate mechanism based on a picture of the thermoluminescent process similar to that of Johnson. The analysis of the isothermal decay studies is in agreement with the results of ``glow curve'' experiments on similar lithium fluoride samples where the intensity of luminescence is measured as the temperature of the crystal is heated at a constant rate. Two principal types of electron traps in lithium fluoride are found to have trapping energies of 19,800 cal./mole and 45,300 cal./mole respectively.
