Abstract

Thermoluminescence is measured from pure single crystals of calcium sulphide over the temperature range 8 to 300 K. The density of data gathered allows a range of analysis techniques to be applied. Four major peaks are found and analysis gives the thermal excitation energies as 0.25, 0.36 to 0.38, 0.73 and 0.68 eV for peaks near 108, 156, 228 and 261 K, respectively.
