Thermoluminescence glow-curve deconvolution functions for mixed order of kinetics and continuous trap distribution

Mew glow-curve deconvolution functions are proposed for mixed order of kinetics and for continuous-trap distribution. The only free parameters of the presented glow-curve deconvolution functions are the maximum peak intensity (I-m) and the maximum peak temperature (T-m). which can be estimated experimentally together with the activation energy (E). The other foe parameter is the activation energy range (Delta E) for the case of the continuous-trap distribution or a constant alpha for the case of mixed-order kinetics.
