The models employed so far for deconvolving thermoluminescent glow curves are either derived byneglecting the interaction among traps and resorting to the quasi-equilibrium approximation, or aresimply phenomenological. Several published articles have shown that the approximations are difficult tojustify. Further it has never been shown that they are rigorously applicable to any known system. As tothe phenomenological model it is no physically meaningful. An algorithm is reported which allowsanalyses of glow curves without the aforementioned approximations.
