Radiothermoluminescence

Example:Radiothermoluminescence is a form of radioluminescence that specifically involves heat generated by the absorbed radiation.

Definition:A phenomenon where light is emitted by a substance as a result of exposure to radiation, without chemical change.

Example:By comparing radiothermoluminescence with thermoluminescence, scientists can refine their understanding of radiation exposure history.

Definition:The glow produced by heating certain minerals that had been previously exposed to ionizing radiation, allowing researchers to deduce the radiation dose absorbed.
