Studies of Thermoluminescence Properties of Mersin s Quartz Sand with X-ray Irradiation
Abstract :
The quartz samples collected from quartz sand deposits from Yeşilovacık Mersin region were studied Thermoluminescence (TL) from room temperature to 400°C after irradiated by X-ray source. Thermoluminescence trap parameters were calculated via Various Heating Rate (VHR) method. Heating rates were selected as 0.5°C/s, 1°C/s, 2°C/s, 5°C/s, 10°C/s. The peak maximum temperature shift values from TL glow curve at 90°C, 210°C and 320°C were monitored by VHR method. The temperature shift along to heating rates were used to calculate the trap parameters as Activation Energy (E) and Frequency Factor (s). The activation and frequency factor values were obtained as 0.84eV, 2.84x10^10 s^-1, 1.13eV, 2.34x10^13 s^-1 and 1.78eV, 1.59x10^18 s^-1 at selected peaks.
