Abstract
Microcrystalline powders of NaCl, KCl and KBr are coloured in electrodeless discharge. Reflectance and TL studies of these coloured powders are reported. It is concluded that colouration of powders can be understood by considering them as an admixture of perfect and imperfect lattices, and differs from that of single crystals. It is suggested that some of the descrepancies reported on TL data may be due to such a difference. Further, it is shown that a better correlation can be had if TL data are presented along with the corresponding optical measurements. Adoption of such a procedure may help to remove the descrepancy in TL data.
