Radiation-induced thermoluminescence has been studied for several sulfates, carbonates and oxides. The thermolumines-cence of sodium sulfate is affectedby the method of dehydration and by the impurities taken up on crystallization. Lead sulfate is not thermoluminescent, but is rendered so by the addition of certain impurity ions.The thermoluminescence of crystals has been studied in this Laboratory, 8* particularly the alkali halides8* 5 and calcium carbonate. After exposing the crystals to-radiation they are heated in the dark and the temperatures at which light is emitted are recorded, giving a “glow curve.” The glow curve of calcium carbonate is markedly affected by the impurities in the solution from which the material is precipitated. Maxima in the light intensity-temperature curves can be induced, in-creased or decreased by the addition of various impurities. In some cases, impurity content can be predicted from the glow curve and vice versa. This fact suggested that thermoluminescence might be useful as an analytical tool in studies of nearly pure crystalline compounds. It is sensitive to very small quantities of impurities—reagent grade purity is far from thermoluminescence purity. Thermoluminescence may or may not be an in-herent property of the host crystal. The pure crystal may give a basic therrtioluminescence pattern which is modified by imperfections, or the thermo-luminescence may arise from the presence of im-purity ions or from effects of radiation on the crystal.
