Summary.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.This book is devoted to contemporary developments in phototransferred thermoluminescence and is suitable for researchers with an interest in the study of point-defects using stimulated luminescence methods. Topics presented include principles of thermal stimulation as they relate to phototransfer, experimental techniques for its measurement and analytical methods with emphasis on their application to time-response profiles. The measurement, analysis and mechanisms of phototransferred thermoluminescence in selected synthetic materials, natural ones and other materials of various research interest are presented in separate chapters. The final chapter also provides snapshots, for interested readers, on applications.Physicists interested in the study of luminescence in natural and synthetic materials.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Makaiko Chithambo is a professor of physics and head of the physics department at Rhodes University in South Africa, the immediate past-President of the South African Institute of Physics and a member of the Academy of Science of South Africa. He earned his PhD from the University of Edinburgh and his MPhil from the University of Sussex. Prof. Chithambo's research interests are in the study of point-defects in materials using luminescence methods, with special focus on time-resolved optical stimulation techniques. He has published widely in this area and has long standing interest in thermoluminescence, thermoluminescence spectra and radioluminescence.Title from PDF title page (viewed on April 11, 2024).
