摘要
A kinetic model combining both localized and delocalized recombination is described which is based on different filling rates as a function of irradiation electron energy of a spatially correlated trapping center/luminescent center (TC/LC) complex. Following irradiation and thermal de-trapping the locally trapped electron-hole configuration is assumed to give rise to peak 5a and the e-only configuration to peak 5 in the glow curve of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100). The model is capable of simulating the linear/supralinear dose response of composite peak 5, the dependence of the supralinearity on photon energy and the ratio of the intensities of peak 5a to peak 5 as a function of dose. However, this is achieved only by invoking the presence of band-tail states which allow thermally induced hopping leading to semi-localized recombination in the recombination mechanism of the e-only configuration.
