Thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) Solutions

Thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) are the main techniques for studying the luminescence properties of several materials, mainly insulators called phosphors. Frequently, however, students and experts alike need to clarify some concepts related to the effects and defects present in the radiation interaction with solids generated by these phenomena. The concepts, theory and models related to TL and OSL, including applications in important related areas. TL and OSL as methods for studying the nature of luminescent solids
