Abstract
In this study, thermoluminescence decay is investigated within Tsallis thermostatistics (TT). We believe that this is the first attempt to handle the thermoluminescence decay process within TT. The generalized form of glow intensity vs temperature is examined and the effect of the nonextensitivity is shown for various values of the entropic index q. The results are interpreted in terms of the entropic index q and the occupied trap density n. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
