The increasing knowledge of local order and detailed structural information on the neighboring atoms of impurity ions or radiation-induced defect states in borate glasses is a powerful argument for more detailed models leading to a better understanding of luminescence mechanisms, recombination kinetics, and other related phenomena. Examples of some previous models for the thermoluminescence quenching...
