Studies on OSL of quartz and feldspar for dating of sediments
Description
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of quartz, feldspar and fine grain minerals was investigated with the intention of establishing the optimum condition for the OSL dating of geological and archaeological sediments. Four quartzes, five feldspars and natural sediments were used for the OSL measurements stimulated with green and infrared lights. The tests were focused on the temperature dependence of OSL intensities, the preheat-plateau tests, the effects of annealing and bleaching on zeroing and sensitivity changes and the thermoluminescence intensity of OSL-measured samples.
