The introduction of between 0 and 5% alumina into vitreous germanium oxide produces a thermoluminescence phenomenon after excitation by ultraviolet radiation which is characterized by (1) a peak position between 50° and 70° C. and (2) a peak height increasing with increase in the alumina introduced into the GeO 2 glass.
