Abstract
Thermoluminescence (TL) techniques are very useful in the research of the persistent Luminescence (PL) phosphors research. It gives information about the existence of energy levels within the forbidden band, its activation energy, kinetic order, lifetime etc. The TL glow curve of Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ persistent phosphor, consists of two well separated glow peaks. The TL techniques used to evaluate activation energy were the initial rise, prompt isothermal decay (PID) of TL of each peak at elevated temperatures and the glow – curve fitting. The behavior of the PID curves of the two peak is very different. According to the results of the PID procedure and the subsequent data analysis it is suggested that the mechanism behind the low temperature peak is a delocalized transition. On the other hand the mechanism behind the high temperature peak is localized transition involving a tunneling recombination between electron trap and luminescence center. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
