TLDR
The intrinsic defect structure of quartz is sensitive to heat treatments, and this is reflected in changes in TL sensitivity and also the relative intensity of the component glow peaks as mentioned in this paper, and it is also known that even for the same crystal, there can be changes in the luminescence spectra.

Quartz as a natural luminescence dosimeter

TL;DR: Luminescence from quartz is commonly used in retrospective dosimetry, in particular for the dating of archaeological materials and sediments from the Quaternary period as discussed by the authors, which is related to the interaction of natural radiation with mineral grains, by the activation of and subsequent trapping of electrons at defects within the quartz lattice.

Luminescence sensitivity changes in quartz as a result of annealing

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of high temperature annealing on the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and phototransferred TL (PTTL) signals from sedimentary and synthetic quartz were investigated.

Dating volcanic and related sediments by luminescence methods: a review

TL;DR: A review of previous attempts to date volcanic products can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the state of knowledge of the luminescence behaviour of the four principal materials currently used for luminecence dating of volcanic events, including quartz, feldspar, glass and polymineral sample fractions.

Determination of trap depths associated with TL peaks in synthetic quartz (350–550 K)

TL;DR: The thermoluminescence of annealed synthetic quartz has been investigated in the temperature region 350-550 K; the trap parameters for a number of TL peaks within this region of the glow curve have been determined using the fractional glow technique as discussed by the authors.

Properties of the red TL peak of quartz relevant to thermoluminescence dating

TL;DR: A well-defined thermoluminescence (TL) peak was observed in several quartz samples from various origins in the range 380-395°C (heating rate 5°C s -1 ) at a wavelength of around 600-620 nm as discussed by the authors.

Some quartz thermoluminescence spectra relevant to thermoluminescence dating

TL;DR: In this article, a new high-sensitivity spectrometer was used to study the thermoluminescence spectra of several quartzes and the dependence of the spectra on radiation dose were examined for both laboratory dose and natural dose, which differ by 9 orders of magnitude in dose rate, and no effect due to dose rate was observed.
