In this volume, international leading experts in the study of
thermally and optically stimulated luminescence give an up-to-date,
comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and experimental aspects
of these subjects, as well as their applications.The theory of
thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL)
are discussed in detail including mainly solid state models of
localized and delocalized transitions. These models cover the
effects occurring during the excitation by irradiation and the
read-out by heating or by exposure to light. The methods described
consist of analytical mathematical considerations as well as
numerical simulations.The main application of these effects, namely
radiation dosimetry, includes personal and environmental dosimetry,
as well as retrospective dosimetry and the dosimetry of cosmic
radiation and space missions. Also discussed in detail are
archaeological and geological dating, the use of luminescence
dosimetry in medical physics as well as general applications in
geosciences, other model subjects such as time-resolved
luminescence and thermally assisted OSL, and the sister-subject of
thermoluminescence in photosynthetic materials.
