Abstract
Spectral radioluminescence properties of a large number of single grains we re measured. The main emission in K-feldspar grains occurs in the infrared range with the same dose characteristic as shown by multi-grain samples. Fo r plagioclases, large differences in spectral radioluminescence between sin gle-grains and multi-grain aliquots were detected. Differences in the satur ation of the dose characteristics of the individual emissions have been obs erved. Consequences for dating application are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
