Abstract :This paper reports kinetic analysis on the thermoluminescence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TL); glow peaks of various widespread luminescence dosimeters. A common general order kinetic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GOK); approximation and a relatively recently suggested Lambert W-function equation were used. The activation energies and the order of kinetic parameters are the main subjects of the present study. According to the results of this study, the activation energies of the main dosimetric peaks are estimated as 2.05 $\pm $ 0.11, eV, 1.23 $\pm $ 0.05 eV, and 1.11 $\pm $ 0.06 eV for LiF based dosimeters insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TLD100, TLD600, TLD700);, Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$:C insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TLD500);, and BeO dosimeters, respectively. Moreover, a number of other peaks were deconvolved and investigated in terms of kinetic parameters and frequency factors. Additionally, the advantages of the Lambert equation, being completely analytical, are reported and compared to those of the GOK method while deconvolving TL glow curves. The results of this study suggest that the Lambert W-function is promising in revealing the physical meaning of trap-charge and recombination mechanisms for the characterization of materials throughout physical-based sciences.
