Summary
NaCl lattice defects are investigated by recording the spectrally resolved thermoluminescent emission of X-ray activated crystals. Samples of different origin show different thermoluminescent emissions related to different defect contents. But, after thermal treatment up to the melting point, all samples produce practically the same emission. Arguments are advanced to identify the nature of defects giving rise to the spectral bands observed.
