Radioluminescence dating: the IR emission of fefdspar

摘要

A new luminescence reader for radioluminescence (RL) measurements is presented. The system allows detection of RL emissions in the near infrared region (IR). Basic bleaching properties of the IR-RL emission of feldspars are investigated. Sunlight-bleaching experiments as a test for sensitivity changes are presented. IR-bleaching experiments were carried out to obtain information about the underlying physical processes of the IR-RL emission. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. [References: 9]
