The thermoluminescence of albite has been characterized as a first step towards understanding the defect behavior of feldspars. The gamma-ray induced thermoluminescence (TL) of albite (NaAlSi/sub 3/O/sub 8/) was measured using apparatus which records TL emission spectra at closely spaced temperatures. Natural albite samples from Amelia (Virginia) and Portland (Connecticut) exhibit essentially identical emission spectra, with three broad Gaussian-shaped emission bands at 2.2, 3.0 and 4.4 eV. These bands occur in approximate proportions 1.0:0.3:25.0 and with band widths of approximately 0.3, 0.8 and 0.6 eV respectively. Glow curves generated for all three emission bands were consistent with second order kinetics. (JMT)
