Determination of trapping parameters from thermoluminescence glow curves by computer glow curve deconvolution method

In the given study, the synthetic glow curves were numerically obtained by directly solving the differential equations of thermoluminescence (TL) process without the use of approximating functions that have no physical meaning after different heating rates. The synthetic glow curves include a single TL glow peak. All of the simulated glow curves were analyzed by a glow curve deconvolution (fitting) program. The results of curve fitting program were compared with the input values to obtaining whether it reflects correct values of them or not. It was observed that the agreements between input parameters and results of curve fitting program are very good when the input parameters were chosen as very close to the first-order (An<
