Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- 1. The measurement of the luminescence of a sample as a function of temperature. (Chemical Methods Ontology). 2.Luminescence arising from a reaction between species trapped in a rigid matrix and released as a result of an increase in temperature. (TIB, Physico-chemical process). 3. emission of light from some minerals and certain other crystalline materials. The light energy released is derived from electron displacements within the crystal lattice of such a substance caused by previous exposure to high-energy radiation. (Britannica). 4. Luminescence arising from a reaction between species trapped in a rigid matrix and released as a result of an increase in temperature. (IUPAC)
