Abstract

Numerous naturally occurring minerals serve as thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) materials. The thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of these minerals are influenced by the specific type and concentration of trace element impurities they contain. Mineral formation and impurity concentration are both influenced by mineral's geological and geographical origin. Silicate minerals, including quartz and feldspar, along with certain oxide minerals like aluminum oxides, distinctly exhibit TL peaks in glow curves resulting from traps formed through thermal treatment and irradiation. Quartz (SiO2), a particularly abundant silicate mineral in the Earth's crust, forms under various geological conditions, including magmatic, hydrothermal, sedimentary, and metamorphic processes. It plays a crucial role as a rock-forming mineral across all rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic). Natural quartz, one of the dosimeters utilized in luminescence investigations, is significantly important for assessing the radiation record of materials in a wide range of applications including evaluating the authenticity of artifacts or retrospective dosimetry (nuclear accident). This chapter discusses TL phenomena and types of luminescence. The kinetic models which describe the TL phenomena were included. Different methods used to analyze TL glow curves and extracting the kinetic parameters were deliberated. The physical properties and the application of quartz were declared in this chapter. Thermoluminescence phenomena and Dosimetric parameters of Quartz collected from various places were shown clearly.
