This work reports on the cathodoluminescence (CL) and thermoluminescence (TL) properties of gem-quality diaspore samples from Milas/Muğla (Turkey) after 100 h of ultraviolet-C (UVC) exposure. The UVC exposure induces significant changes in the intensity of the CL emission in the range of 400-800 nm that would be mainly associated with photo-oxidation processes of the impurities (Cr, Ti, Fe) that substitute for Al in the diaspore (α-AlOOH) lattice. The UVC effect on the 400 nm-TL behavior of beta irradiated samples in the range of 0.1-8 Gy modifies the TL glow curves probably due to both photo-transfer process where electrons release from deeper to shallower traps and redox reactions involving, also, breakages-linkages of chemical bonds. Meanwhile, the 'as received' samples consist of three maxima centered at about 120, 180, and 234 °C, the 100 h UVC-irradiated samples display three maxima at 122, 220 and 270 °C. The physical trapping parameters (intensity and peak position, trap depth and pre-exponential factor) for each TL curve were estimated by using a computerized glow curve analysis program.

Recently, metal halides have attracted much attention due to their fascinating optical properties. However, achieving efficient white emission with ultralong afterglow remains a great challenge. Herein, we report Sb/Mn-codoped CsCdCl and multiple emission bands can be observed, which are derived from the self-trapped exciton emission of the Sb-Cl moiety and the d-d transition of Mn.

Article Synopsis
- YPO nanophosphors were synthesized with various concentrations of terbium (Tb) using a co-precipitation method, resulting in highly crystalline nanoparticles with an average size of around 40 nm, confirmed by PXRD and TEM.
- The emission spectra of the nanoparticles showed peaks at wavelengths of 491, 545, 588, and 624 nm under UV light, indicating they could be used for applications in white light emitting diodes and optical displays.
- A thermoluminescence study was performed on the 5at.wt% Tb doped YPO samples post gamma radiation exposure, with kinetic parameters being calculated using a deconvolution method.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored how different heat treatments affected the thermoluminescence (TL) and structure of zinc sulfide (ZnS) samples, revealing that annealing increased the proportion of the hexagonal wurtzite phase.
- - The best thermoluminescence intensity was found in a sample with 8.2% wurtzite and 91.8% cubic zinc sulfide, with the analysis showing well-formed, aggregated ZnS nanoparticles.
- - The researchers used advanced techniques to analyze TL glow curves, identifying multiple trapping energy peaks and determining activation energies related to electron traps in the samples.
