Abstract
The characteristics of some numerically computed non-first-order (b no t-equal 1) thermoluminescence (TL) peaks are investigated by studying the variation of peak temperature (T(m)), peak intensity (I(m)), and s hape factor (mu(g)) as a function of fractional filling (f = n0/N), wh ere n0 is the number of electrons trapped and N the total number of el ectron traps present. It is pointed out, that theoretically one will n ot obtain a good plateau in TL dating involving non-first-order TL pea ks (especially for b > 1) even after the accepted practice of peak ali gnment.
