Abstract

A series of experiments has shown that the mechanism responsible for the enhanced rate of decay under illumination of PTTL (photo-transferred thermoluminescence) in the ~110°C region is most likely to be optical detrapping of charge. It has been demonstrated that an alternative explanation for the decay, related to changes in acceptor site concentrations, is unlikely to be the cause. An optical half-life of ~600s is deduced for the ~110°C PTTL emission for the conditions described (420-560nm, 12 mW.cm-2 stimulation).
