WHAT DOES THERMOLUMINESCENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Thermoluminescence

Thermoluminescence is a form of luminescence that is exhibited by certain crystalline materials, such as some minerals, when previously absorbed energy from electromagnetic radiation or other ionizing radiation is re-emitted as light upon heating of the material. The phenomenon is distinct from that of black body radiation.

Definition of thermoluminescence in the English dictionary

The definition of thermoluminescence in the dictionary is phosphorescence of certain materials or objects as a result of heating. It is caused by pre-irradiation of the material inducing defects which are removed by the heat, the energy released appearing as light: used in archaeological dating.
