On temperature-dependent frequency factor in thermoluminescence measured with a hyperbolic heating profile

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the consequences of the temperature dependence of the frequency factor on thermoluminescence peaks recorded in a hyperbolic heating profile. The temperature dependence of the frequency factor leads to nonuniqueness in the symmetry factor for a particular order of kinetics (b) and causes an error of the order of 5% in the determination of b and an error of the order of 10% in the determination of activation energy (E).
