    Investigating the thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence source trap in fired geological quartz
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-03) Koul, Dileep K.; Patil, Pravinkumar G.; Oniya, Ebenezer O.; Polymeris, George S.
    The pre-dosed thermoluminescence (TL) emission of quartz has been found to be useful in retrospective dosimetry and archaeometry. Though the pre-dosed optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and emissions have been reported to be similar, the former has been found to be un-reliable for the equivalent dose estimation. As this measurement protocol involves thermal heating at around 400 degrees C, the work reported in this paper investigated the influence of this heating on the OSL using fired specimens from various regions. The results suggested that the discrepancy in the behaviour of two emissions is caused by the presence of the thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) induced by thermal-activation involved in the pre-dose treatment. This transferred signal was observed to be very significant in the case of samples containing a prominent higher-temperature TL peak at similar to 375 degrees C. The characterization of this signal based on (i) the nature of the glow curves, (ii) thermal-annealing of the OSL trap, (iii) observation of the TT-OSL, (iv) bleaching of the source trap and (v) the correlation between TL and OSL seems to suggest that the trap corresponding to this TL peak is the source trap in the TT-OSL emission mechanism.

    The correlation of fast OSL component with the TL peak at 325 degrees C in quartz of various origins
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2010-02) Kitis, George; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Polymeris, George S.; Tsirliganis, Nestor C.
    The fast component of the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signal in quartz is the basic tool for the optical dating. Its relation with the thermoluminescence (TL) glow-peak at about 325 degrees C is well established for naturally irradiated quartz. This relationship is also an important part of a general model for quartz on which many theoretical simulations of various OSL experimental results have been based. In the present work this relationship is systematically investigated in nine quartz samples of different origin. The linearly modulated OSL (LM-OSL) curves of all quartz samples for stimulation time less than 50s consists of two components discriminated easily by a computerized curve deconvolution (CCD) analysis. By comparing the un-bleached to the respective bleached TL glow-curve, it is found that the system of these two fast OSL components is directly related with only a small portion of the electron traps responsible for the TL glow-peaks in the temperature region 200-400 degrees C. By increasing the stimulation times, besides the two fast components, the medium and the slow components are also obtained. The medium and slow components are clearly related with the main body of the electron traps responsible for TL glow-peaks in the same temperature region 200-400 degrees C. Despite their different origin all quartz samples show an appreciable homogeneity concerning the number and time position of the individual components, whereas, the relative TL/OSL intensities vary strongly from sample to sample with the integrated TL intensity being generally much less than the integrated OSL intensity.

    Component resolved OSL dose response and sensitization of various sedimentary quartz samples
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2007-02) Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Polymeris, George S.; Kitis, George
    The structure of the linearly modulated optically stimulated luminescence (LM-OSL) signal was studied for four sedimentary quartz samples, collected from different sites around Istanbul, Turkey. Applying a computerized deconvolution analysis to the LM-OSL curves, at least six individual components of first-order kinetics were identified and photoionization cross-section of each component was evaluated. The OSL dose-response curve of each component for each quartz sample was obtained, showing a remarkable differentiation from component to component. The behavior of a highly dosed sample to successive LM-OSL measurements was also studied showing a stable recuperation signal in the position of the "slow" and "medium" components and high resistance to OSL bleaching of the "slow" component. The individual sensitivity of each component as a function of the activation temperature was obtained. The sensitivity of each component was normalized over the respective sensitivity of the glow-peak at 110 degrees C of quartz in order to investigate the ability of the 110 degrees C glow-peak to act as a correction factor for all components of the LM-OSL curves examined.

    The survey on Near Field Communication
    (MDPI, 2015-06) Coşkun, Vedat; Özdenizci Köse, Büşra; Ok, Kerem
    Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging short-range wireless communication technology that offers great and varied promise in services such as payment, ticketing, gaming, crowd sourcing, voting, navigation, and many others. NFC technology enables the integration of services from a wide range of applications into one single smartphone. NFC technology has emerged recently, and consequently not much academic data are available yet, although the number of academic research studies carried out in the past two years has already surpassed the total number of the prior works combined. This paper presents the concept of NFC technology in a holistic approach from different perspectives, including hardware improvement and optimization, communication essentials and standards, applications, secure elements, privacy and security, usability analysis, and ecosystem and business issues. Further research opportunities in terms of the academic and business points of view are also explored and discussed at the end of each section. This comprehensive survey will be a valuable guide for researchers and academicians, as well as for business in the NFC technology and ecosystem.

    Component-resolved thermal stability and recuperation study of the LM-OSL curves of four sedimentary quartz samples
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2007-09) Kitis, George; Polymeris, George S.; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye
    Thermal stability as well as recuperation stands among the crucial general characteristics of different OSL components in quartz. Through a series of thermal stability and recuperation experiments, in conjunction with curve fitting studies, a component resolved analysis is carried out, studying these two aspects for the OSL components identified ill quartz samples collected from sites around Istanbul. A thermally unstable ultra-fast component is reported, which is almost totally removed by heating up to 250-280 degrees C. Most slow and medium components show a stability temperature region between 200 and 350 degrees C, whereas the thermal stability of the final slow component is limited Lip to almost 300 degrees C. No detectable recuperation occurs for the first five components reported. The greatest recuperation occurred in the sixth component, despite the fact that it was less than 1%.
