A STUDY ON THERMOLUMINESCENCE (TL) SPECTRA USING PYTHON SOFTWARE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Thermoluminescence (TL) spectra are complex curves that do not follow normal distributions but follow a general, first-, second-order, one-center recombination trap or mixing model. This paper presents a method to use Python software to simulate and fit the experimental curve of the TL spectrum based on different models. The TL spectral simulation method is based on the trap parameter or the spectral peak parameter according to the kinetic equations. The processing and analysis of the TL spectrum show the characteristic parameters of the TL spectrum of the material such as the activation energy, frequency factor, and trap lifetime. The results show that the simulated and matched TL spectrum fits the general order model. The small spectral matching coefficient shows that the simulated and experimental TL spectra are similar.
