Fig. 2

Typical results of the MAAD plateau method applied for sample SB1. Plot (a) presents a NTL glow curve (as an average of three independently measured glow curves), plot (b) presents the representative Si curves for a selection of additive doses according to equation (2) while plot (c) presents an ED plateau versus glow curve temperature according to equation (1). Error bars correspond to 1σ.

Fig. 3

Representative deconvolution analysis of a TL glow curve corresponding to the sample SB1, after a dose of 450 Gy (open data points). Six different TL glow peaks and a black body radiation curve (BGK) were used in order to fit the experimental glow curve. Each TL glow peak is presented in solid line and is denoted as Pi. Orange solid line indicates the fitting curve. Table 2 indicates the activation energies of the TL peaks.
