Abstract

The area under the glow curve (no thermal quenching and constant dose) is conserved only in TL–time plots and is not conserved in TL–temperature plots, but for a given heating rate, the glow peak height is same in time as well as in temperature plots and the glow peak height increases with increasing heating rate. However, to conserve area in TL–temperature plots, the TL intensity should be divided by the respective heating rate; this will lead to a decrease of glow peak height in I/β–temperature plots, which is an artifact of the normalization process, and this decrease should not be used to measure thermal quenching.
