Abstract
We report a spurious thermoluminescence (TL) present in three types of calcite powders which also show regenerated TL (RTL). The amount of R TL was found to depend on storage time and on the heating rate used du ring TL readout. Different heating rates during TL readout caused prof ound changes in the measured TL spectra in the range 400-650 nm. These changes can be explained by manganese ions moving into and out of clu sters during the heating process. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
