Abstract
AbstractWe review our work on the thermoluminescent properties of LiF and NaCl crystals. The role of impurities and their effect on glow curves is considered. A spectral analysis of light emitted at glow peaks suggests some common processes active in the two materials, including intrinsic emission from self trapped excitons near 360 nm wavelengths and impurity enhanced emission near 417 nm wavelengths. The latter may be related to the presence of impurity‐vacancy dipoles in a form which favors TL emission. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
