Abstract

The glow curve deconvolution (GCD) analysis of a composite thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve into its individual glow-peaks needs appropriate equations describing a single glow peak. In the present work, new single glow peak equations are presented, which are produced by transformation of the I(n 0,E,s,T) and I(n 0,E,s,b,T) single glow-peak equations into I(I m,T m,E,T) and I(I m,T m,E,b,T), respectively. Moreover, equations of the forms I(I m,T m,w,b,T) are also introduced. The proposed equations have two basic advantages: (1) they use parameters, which are directly obtained from the experimental glow peaks and (2) their accuracy is equal to that of the original thermoluminescence single glow-peak equations.
