Abstract

The influence of the heating rate on the thermoluminescence (TL) emission induced by UV radiation in zirconium oxide has been investigated. Various heating rates from 2 to 30 K/s were used. Trap parameters, i.e. activation energy, E, preexponential factor, s, and the kinetics order, b, were also determined using the peak shape method. The temperature lag between the TL sample and the heating strip, which emerged as the heating rate increased, was corrected by computer simulation.
