Abstract
Recently there has been considerable interest in studying the defect structure of metal oxides by observing their solid state luminescent behavior. Thermoluminescence is observed by beating a sample after excitation with high energy radiation and recording the intensity of light emitted as a function of temperature. This investigation was undertaken to combine the laws of thermodynamics of solids with the thermoluminescent experiment in order to study the defect structure of zinc oxide and cerium oxide.
