Thermoluminescence as a Research Tool to Investigate Luminescence Mechanisms.Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) is known as a technique used in radiation dosimetry and dating.  Finally, a series of very diverse examples is given to illustrate how TSL has been used in the determination of energy levels of defects, in the research of persistent luminescence phosphors, and in phenomena like band gap engineering, tunnelling, photosynthesis, and thermal quenching.  It is concluded that in the field of luminescence spectroscopy, thermally stimulated luminescence has proven to be an experimental technique with unique properties to study defects in solids.
