110 degrees C thermoluminescence (TL) peak in quartz is well known due to its pre-dose effect, which is used in dating technique. The generally accepted mechanism for the production of this peak is based on Ge impurity ...

An extensive i n loc o survey o f main quartz producing regions in an extensive in loco survey of main quartz producing regions in Brazil integrated with physicochemical characterization studies of quartz lascas and their ...

The thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of quartz are highly dependent of its thermal history. Based on the enhancement of quartz luminescence occurred after heating, some authors proposed to use quartz TL to recover ...

Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) presents a very low processing time when compared to conventional sintering methods. Such fast processing conditions allow it to control the grain size growth and preserve the powders distribution ...

The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) sensitivity of quartz has a significant influence on luminescence dating procedures. Furthermore, identifying the natural controls of quartz OSL sensitivity is an important step ...

The following varieties of natural quartz, as the blue, the green, the red, the pink, the black, the sulphurous and the milky quartz, have been investigated concerning their thermoluminescence properties. For comparison ...
