A new method for fitting glow curves, described in a mixed order kinetics
model, with Gauss-Lorentz function is shown. Theoretical expressions of the
mixed order kinetics model are shown in a new way, so that the values of
kinetic parameters can be obtained through the geometric parameters. When the
model is described in this way it is possible to calculate precisely the
kinetic parameters such as activation energy, pre-exponential factor and the
factor a= n0/(h + n0). At the same time, obtained values of geometric
parameters of the experimental curve, which is described with the
Gauss-Lorentz function, can be used to estimate the kinetic model, in which
thermoluminescence relaxation occurs. This gives a possibility of a new
application of Gauss-Lorentz function to be used as a criterion for assessing
model of relaxation, when it is not known in advance. The accuracy of fitting
is studied, for the specific cases of computer simulated thermoluminescent
curves with one peak.
