Abstract
The objective of this paper is to review the use of the thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) techniques as research tools in luminescence, particularly to detect the presence of trapping centers that can degrade the efficiency of scintillators, and shape the properties of persistent phosphors, storage phosphors and dosimeters. A brief review of the main analysis techniques is provided, followed by a discussion of their limitations. Examples of applications in which the TL or OSL analyses have provided useful information on the trapping and recombination of charges created by ionizing radiation is given.
