Abstract
A method is proposed for processing of thermostimulated luminescence (TSL) curve in the presence of thermostimulated conductivity (TSC) in which no assumption is made as to the smallness of dnc/dt (nc is the conduction electron concentration). Results of the theory are applied to study of ZnS∶Ag, Al and ZnS∶Cu single crystals, in which elementary traps are revealed, and their activation energy and the value of the frequency factor determined. For ZnS∶Cu the radiative transition recombination section is calculated.
