摘要

Quartz is a common and geologically complex mineral that is most commonly used in thermoluminescence (TL) applications for dating geological events and radiation dosimetry. This review provides an overview of the TL behavior of quartz derived from igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary environments, emphasizing how the means of formation influences defect structures, trap parameters and TL sensitivity. It summarizes experimental work on glow curve behaviors, defect centers chemistry, thermal and irradiation histories, and provides comparative perspectives across quartz types. Sedimentary quartz has the highest TL sensitivity and well-bleached trap populations, and is potentially the best for radiometric dating of geological events and retrospective environmental dosimetry. Applications as luminescence dating of geological events and retrospective dosimetry surrounding radiation exposure, are discussed as representable examples. Future research directions include recent advances in trap engineering, TL instrumentation, and Ai-analysis of glow curves, providing opportunities for standardizing methods of analysis and standardizing the methodology of quartz for luminescence-based technologies.
