S. Guissi et al., THEORETICAL-MODEL FOR THERMALLY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE, CONDUCTIVITYAND EXOELECTRONIC EMISSION, Journal of physics. D, Applied physics, 31(1), 1998, pp. 137-145
A theoretical model which takes into account thermally stimulated lumi
nescence (TSL), conductivity (TSC) and exoelectronic emission (TSEE) i
s proposed in this article. The model is established for the case of a
single type of electron trap, a single type of recombination centre a
nd in the presence of thermally disconnected traps. It generalizes the
model of Lewandowski and McKeever by taking the TSEE phenomenon into
consideration. TSEE is described as resulting from the thermionic effe
ct and so the model applies only to a thin solid film about 10 nm thic
k. As an application example, the influence of various parameters invo
lved in the model on peak shape and position is investigated.
