On the Thermoluminescent Mechanism of a Calcium Fluorapatite Single Crystal Doped with Mn2

The thermostimulated luminescence (TSL) properties, the thermostimulated conductivity (TSC), and the optical absorption of a Ca5(PO4)3F:Mn2+ fluorapatite monocrystal are studied after X-irradiation. A model for the thermoluminescent mechanism is suggested. Les proprietes de luminescence thermostimulee (TSL), de conductibilite electrique thermostimulee (TSC) et d'absorption optique d'un monocristal de fluorapatite, Ca5(PO4)3F:Mn2+, sont etudiees apres irradiation X. Un modele pour le mecanisme de thermoluminescence est propose.
