Supralinearity of UV Irradiated Magnesium Aluminum Spinel

• Kim T

Abstract

Three-dimensional thermoluminescence (TL) spectra from MgAl2O4 irradiated with UV light were measured over 300~600 K and 300~800 nm. The peak positions of TL glow curves were shifted to lower temperature with increasing the exposure time of UV light. The 476 K TL glow curve is due to the second kinetics and its activation energy and escape frequency factor are calculated to be 0.85 eV and 1.92x10(6) sec(-1), respectively. The TL spectra were split into 530 nm and 700 nm emission bands which were associated with V(2+) and Cr(2+), respectively. The linearity range of 700 nm emission band is smaller than that of 530 nm emission band, but the saturation time of 700 nm emission band is longer than that of 530 nm emission band.
