I. Liritzis, ALTERNATIVE DETERMINATION OF EQUIVALENT DOSE BY GREEN LIGHT-EMITTING-DIODES OPTICALLY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE USING THE UNSTABLE LUMINESCENCE, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 190(1), 1995, pp. 13-21
A new method for the determination of the equivalent dose (ED) in mine
rals has been developed, based on the unstable part of luminescence wh
ich fades away at ambient temperatures. Optical stimulated luminescenc
e employing green light emitting diodes is used in two cases; a refere
nce quartz sample and an archaeological ceramic. In both instances the
obtained (ED) with the new technique provides a satisfactory agreemen
t within the expected errors.
