Abstract:
Thermoluminescence (TL) kinetics in spatially inhomogeneous systems can be studied by various Monte Carlo algorithms. Recently, a new analytical approach was suggested for the isolated cluster model. The theory is based on the concept of trap structural functions (TSFs). TSFs depend solely on topological properties of solids. Therefore, knowing TSFs for traps and recombination centres it is possible to calculate TL for various parameters, e.g. different heating schemes and different energy configurations. This paper presents some properties and methods of calculation of TSFs. Structural character of TSFs is verified numerically.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
