Rk. Gartia et al., EXPERIMENTAL-EVIDENCE OF VARIATION OF GLOW PEAK SHAPE WITH DOSE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES - THE CASE OF 2ND-ORDER KINETICS, Physica status solidi. a, Applied research, 148(1), 1995, pp. 303-309
The theoretical investigation of second-order glow peaks predicts that
the total width at half intensity (omega) varies as a function of the
fractional filling (f = n(0)/N), where n(0), is the number of electro
ns trapped and N the total number of electron traps present. In this p
aper experimental evidence of this theoretical prediction is provided
by considering a second-order glow curve of chert (a form of quartz).
The consequence of this is discussed keeping the problem of peak align
ment for plateau tests.
