Einführung

Einige nichtleitende Festkörper senden bei Erhitzen zusätzlich zur Planck’schen Wärmestrahlung Licht aus. Dieses ‚kalte Leuchten‘, Lumineszenz genannt, setzt eine vorherige externe Energiezufuhr, z.B. durch ionisierende Strahlung, voraus. Seit etwa 60 Jahren wird die Eigenschaft von bestimmten Mineralen wie Quarzen und Feldspäten, diese Energie längerfristig zu speichern, genutzt um Gesteine und Artefakte zu datieren. Die Lumineszenzdatierung hat sich aufgrund ihres breiten Anwendungsspektrums zu einer der wichtigsten chronometrischen Verfahren in den Quartärwissenschaften und der Archäologie etabliert.
