Abstract:
The present study presents a comparative evaluation of two analytical deconvolution models applied to Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) decay curves of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS), a glass-ceramic material with potential applications in accidental dosimetry. ZLS samples were subjected to beta irradiation and measured under Continuous Wave OSL (CW-OSL) protocols. A comparative analysis is conducted between two deconvolution approaches-the General Order Kinetics (GOK) model and a master analytical equation based on the Lambert W function. The results imply that both models yield a linear dose-response behavior of the fast OSL component; however, the Lambert W approach offers simpler fitting with fewer parameters. The abovementioned findings demonstrate the methodological robustness of the Lambert W formalism and also confirm that ZLS is a promising dosimetric material, aligning with the goals of protocol development in material characterization.
