Abstract

This article describes the essential features of photo-stimulated luminescence in flint. The emission is shown to be complex, arising from a number of different aspects of the material. Under constant illumination, dose-dependent time-decaying anti-Stokes signals are superimposed on dose-independent, time-stable emission that is both Stokes and anti-Stokes shifted in energy. It is argued that the dose-dependent signals arise from the crystalline quartz phase of the material, whereas the dose independent signals originate from an amorphous-like phase of SiO2. The microcrystallinity of the material leads to contrasting behaviour when compared with bulk crystalline quartz.
