Description

Microcline feldspar crystal has been analyzed in order to determine the centers suitable for use in ESR and luminescence dating. ESR measurements at RT showed the Fe3+ line, and at 77K the Si-O-..X signal with g=2.0052, 2.0098 and 2.0128. TL glow peak at 157 and 300 deg. C in UV interval were observed and in the VIS range we noted peaks at 150, 280 and 340 deg. C. TL growth curve of the 340 deg. C peak could be fitted by a saturating exponential equation and can be used in TL dating. Emission curves showed band widths 1.95+/-0.09, 2.73+/-0.08 and 4.94+/-0.50eV. Transitions from 4T1->6A1 of Fe3+ can be associated with the 1.95eV band and the transition from 4A14E(G)->6A1(S) with 2.73eV band
