Description

Thermoluminescence (TL) emission spectra have been obtained from alkali feldspars ranging from monoclinic and triclinic potassium-rich feldspars to tricline sodium-rich feldspars, as well as from a synthetic gel of KA1Si3O8 composition. Emissions were detected in the wavelength range 200-800 nm using a high sensitivity spectrometer. The results suggest that the 290 nm emission band in TL is associated either with the presence of crystalline phases of NaA1Si3O8 or with Na/K exsolution interfaces. (author)
