The peak shape methods used in thermoluminescence (TL) theory to evaluate the activation energy E , are based on first and second order kinetics equations. For the intermediate kinetic orders the peak shape methods are based on the empirical theory of general order kinetics. In the present work we derive peak shape methods based on the physically meaningful mixed order kinetics model. The derived equations are tested for their accuracy and are compared with other peak shape methods existing in the TL literature. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
