RLumCarlo

The R package RLumCarlo provides a collection of R functions modelling luminescence production in isolators and semiconductors for various stimulation modes using Monte Carlo methods.

Installation

i. Requirements

Depending on your OS please download and install one of the following:

Windows: Rtools (provided by CRAN)
macOS: Xcode (provided by Apple)
Linux: gcc often comes pre-installed in most distributions. Should gcc be not available, however, we kindly refer to the exhaustive collection of installation guides depending on the Linux distribution.

ii. Install the package from GitHub

if(!require("devtools"))
  install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("R-Lum/RLumCarlo@master")

Examples

run_MC_CW_IRSL_TUN(A = 0.12, rho = 0.003, times = 0:1000) %>%
     plot_RLumCarlo(norm = TRUE, legend = TRUE)

Supported models

TRANSITION	BASE MODEL	IRSL	OSL	LM-OSL	TL
Delocalised	OTOR	FALSE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
Localised	GOT	TRUE	FALSE	TRUE	TRUE
Excited state tunnelling	LTM	TRUE	FALSE	TRUE	TRUE

Funding

The development of RLumCarlo benefited from the support by various funding bodies:

The initial work by Johannes Friedrich, Sebastian Kreutzer and Christoph Schmidt was supported by the DFG (2015–2018, SCHM 3051/4-1, “Modelling quartz luminescence signal dynamics relevant for dating and dosimetry”, SCHM 3051/4-1).
Later financial support was secured through the project ‘ULTIMO: Unifying Luminescence Models of quartz and feldspar (German Academic Exchange Service) DAAD: Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst DAAD PPP USA 2018, ID: 57387041)’.
The work of Sebastian Kreutzer as maintainer of the package was supported by LabEx LaScArBx (ANR - n. ANR-10-LABX-52) between 2017 and 2019.
From 2020, Sebastian Kreutzer received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 844457 (project: CREDit).
