Abstract Partial thermal annealing of nominally pure calcium tungstate, after gamma irradiation at 78 °K, provided evidence for identifying three major 4900 Å thermoluminescence peaks at 0.36, 0.55, and 0.72 eV with three groups of electron spin resonance lines of paramagnetic tungsten at g 001 = 2.009 and 1.843 and niobium at g 001 = 2.021, respectively. The impurity center identified with the paramagnetic Nb +4 ion is assigned to a tungsten site and a NbO 4 −4complex. Arguments are presented for the assignment of two lattice defect models, a WO 4 −3complex with nearby WO 3 and NbO 4 −3complexes, and a WO 3 −1complex with a nearby calcium deficiency, to the paramagnetic (W +5 ) A and (W +5 ) B ions, respectively.
