Abstract

The thermoluminescence (TL) peaks of feldspar were separated using the computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) method combined with the second-derivative technique and were investigated not only for bleaching with different light sources (blue and infrared) but also for luminescence response to radiation dose. In the results, the TL glow peak was separated into four peaks at 280 °C, 315 °C, 360 °C, and 440 °C. Each separated TL glow peak exhibited two exponential decays in the signal bleached using blue or infrared stimulation. In view of all four separated glow peaks, the bleaching of the first (second) exponential component was faster (slower) for both the blue and the infrared stimulation as the peak temperature increased, and the bleaching of the first (second) exponential component with blue stimulation was faster (slower) than that with infrared stimulation. In addition, we found that with added beta dose, the shapes of the growth curves showed no substantial differences for the separated glow peaks.
