In this study, the potential of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating for archaeological potteries was investigated. Firstly, recently purchased OSL and alpha counter systems were calibrated. Then, archaeological sherds taken from Datca-Burgaz (Mugla, Turkey) archaeological site of archaic and classical period (700-400 BC) were dated. Samples were prepared by the fine grain technique and paleodose was found by using the additive dose technique. The annual doses of uranium and thorium were determined by using the alpha counter. The potassium, which has no alpha activity, was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The age of the sherds was found to be 2340 +/- 190 years which is in good agreement with the archaeological evidence involving figurines and coins obtained in the same level.

Optically stimulated luminescence from quartz measured using the linear modulation technique Bulur, Enver; Murray, A.S. (2000-12-15) The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) from heated natural quartz has been investigated using the linear modulation technique (LMT), in which the excitation light intensity is increased linearly during stimulation. In contrast to conventional stimulation, which usually produces a monotonically decreasing signal, linearly increasing the stimulation power gives peaks in the signal as a function of time. In cases where the OSL signal contains more than one component, the linear increase in power of the st...
Optically stimulated luminescence characteristics of BeO nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel method ALTUNAL, VOLKAN; YEĞİNGİL, ZEHRA; TÜKEN, TUNÇ; Depci, T.; ÖZDEMİR, ALİ CAN; Guckan, V.; Nur, N.; Kurt, K.; Bulur, Enver (2018-11-01) Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) properties of the sol-gel synthesized nano-powders of Beryllium Oxide (BeO) were investigated. Luminescence properties of BeO nanoparticles are dependent on the crystal structure, particle size, and morphology and therefore strongly dependent on the way of synthesis, thus the preparation was modified to enhance the OSL signal from the material. Structural, thermal and morphological properties of BeO in nanopowder and pellet forms were studied using X-Ray Diffraction (...
Optical characterization of Ga2SeS layered crystals by transmission, reflection and ellipsometry IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2015-07-10) Optical properties of Ga2SeS crystals grown by Bridgman method were investigated by transmission, reflection and ellipsometry measurements. Analysis of the transmission and reflection measurements performed in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm at room temperature indicated the presence of indirect and direct transitions with 2.28 eV and 2.38 eV band gap energies. Ellipsometry measurements were carried out in the 1.2-6.0 eV spectral region to get information about optical constants, real and imaginary part...
On time analysis of archaeological residues by using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) Küçükkeskin, Efe; Yedierler, Burak; Eseller, Kemal Efe; Department of Physics (2016) In this study, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied to the archaeological rock samples. The main aim of this study is to find out the LIBS spectra of these rock samples and analyze them qualitatively and quantitatively. It was determined as a result of the qualitative analyses that the elements Mg (I) (517 nm), Sr (II) (421 nm) and Cr (I) (428 nm) exist in the archaeological materials. This information was proved not only with the related software program but also comparing our results wi...
Optical characterization of CuIn5S8 crystals by ellipsometry measurements IŞIK, MEHMET; Gasanly, Nizami (2016-04-01) Optical properties of CuIn5S8 crystals grown by Bridgman method were investigated by ellipsometry measurements. Spectral dependence of optical parameters; real and imaginary parts of the pseudodielectric function, pseudorefractive index, pseudoextinction coefficient, reflectivity and absorption coefficients were obtained from the analysis of ellipsometry experiments performed in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral region. Analysis of spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient revealed the existence of direct ban...
