Possible reasons for anomalous fading in alkali feldspars used for luminescence dating of Quaternary deposits

According to many publications, alkali feldspars are characterized by specific athermal (anomalous) fading of their thermoluminescence and optically-stimulated luminescence. This phenomenon is manifested as spontaneous decline in luminescence intensity over relatively long (months and years) time af...
