On the study of the C ⁶⁺ ion beam and γ-ray induced effect on structural and luminescence properties of Eu doped LiNaSO ₄ : explanation of TSL mechanism using PL, TL and EPR study

ion irradiation. Finally, a mechanism is presented for the thermally stimulated luminescence phenomenon on the basis of our observed results from the PL, TL and EPR studies. The reason behind ion beam irradiation induced modification of the TL properties and enhancement of luminescence intensity is also explained in this report.
