Abstract

Spectrally resolved thermoluminescent emission has been investigated in solids belonging to Al2O3−B2O3 and Al2O3−SiO2 systems. These solids, which are characterized by a structure like that of alumino-silicate mullite, contain a high density of oxygen and aluminum or boron lacunae. This fact favours the occurrence of both-sign interstitial ions acting as carrier traps. The results show a close similarity with those obtained when studying, with the same experimental method, the thermoluminescent emission of alumina. The overall analysis of data allows for reliable conclusions on the nature of crystal defects in these materials.
