Abstract

Diamond films exhibits excellent properties as high thermal conductivity and low electrical conduc tivity, due to phonon phenomena. Also, its strong valence bonds allow gap values up to 5.4 ev. When diamond films are exposed to beta radiation, some electrons pass from the valence to the conduction band, and other stayed trapped between both bands. If the diamond is heated after beta radiation, the trap electrons could be encountered with their respectively holes or positrons emitting light at different frequencies, this phenomenon is called thermoluminescence (TL). The goal in this work is to demonstrate that the intensity of a glow curve can be adjusted by a three parameters Weibull distribution.
