Abstract The various heating rate (VHR) method is used to determine the activation energy (E) of traps responsible for thermoluminescence (TL) peaks. The VHR method was developed and works well for single glow peaks. However, it is often applied to multiple overlapping peaks where one of the peaks is dominant. The use of VHR method for TL curves consisting of several peaks for determining the activation energy of the dominant peak may, due to an arbitrary selection of the heating rate set adopted for calculations, lead to a different result than the actual physical value of this parameter. The purpose of this work is to show how different results can be obtained using various heating rate sets in the VHR method for curves composed of two peaks with one clearly dominant. The method was used for several examples of TL curves generated numerically in such a way that the impact of the ratio of peak intensities, or peak mutual position on determining the energy may be observed.

应用各种升温速率法确定复杂TL峰中主要陷阱的活化能

摘要 使用不同加热速率 (VHR) 方法确定负责热释光 (TL) 峰的陷阱的活化能 (E)。VHR 方法已开发并且适用于单辉光峰。然而，它通常应用于多个重叠峰，其中一个峰占主导地位。对于由几个峰组成的 TL 曲线使用 VHR 方法来确定主峰的活化能，由于计算采用的加热速率设置的任意选择，可能会导致与该参数的实际物理值不同的结果. 这项工作的目的是展示如何在 VHR 方法中使用不同的加热速率组获得不同的结果，该曲线由两个明显占优势的峰组成。
