In OSLdecomposition: Signal Component Analysis for Optically Stimulated Luminescence

Plot comparison of CW-OSL component photoionisation cross sections of different models

Description

This function takes the output.complex = TRUE output of fit_OSLcurve and draws the photoionisation cross sections of different models in relation to each other. If a stimulation wavelength between 465 and 480 nm was chosen, the photoionisation cross sections are also set in relation to literature values from Singarayer and Bailey (2003), Jain et al. (2003) and Durcan and Duller (2011).

The photoionisation cross section ranges of the reference components are defined as following:

Component	Lower limit (cm^2)	Upper limit (cm^2)
Ultrafast	1e-16	1e-15
Fast	1.9e-17	3.1e-17
Medium	3e-18	9e-18
Slow1	1e-18	1.85e-18
Slow2	1.1e-19	4e-19
Slow3	1e-20	4.67e-20
Slow4	1e-21	1e-20

Usage

plot_PhotoCrosssections(
  fit.list,
  stimulation.intensity = NULL,
  stimulation.wavelength = NULL,
  K.selected = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  hide.plot = FALSE,
  filename = NULL
)

Arguments

fit.list	list (required): Output object of fit_OSLcurve. The object must be created with the setting output.complex = TRUE.
stimulation.intensity	numeric (optional): Intensity of optical stimulation in mW / cm². Used to calculate the photoionisation cross sections. If not given, the input value for fit_OSLcurve is used
stimulation.wavelength	numeric (optional): Wavelength of optical stimulation in nm. Used to calculate the photoionisation cross sections. If not given, the input value for fit_OSLcurve is used
K.selected	numeric (optional): Draws a red rectangle around the K = K.selected row, thus highlighting the model of choice.
title	character (with default): Plot title. Set title = NULL for no title.
hide.plot	logical (with default): If true, plot is not drawn but can still be saved as file or caught by A <- plot_PhotoCrosssections(...). If caught, the plot can be drawn manually for example by using gridExtra::grid.arrange.
filename	character (optional): File name or path to save the plot as image. If just a file name is given, the image is saved in the working directory. The image type is chosen by the file ending. Both, vector images as well as pixel images are possible. Allowed are .pdf, .eps, .svg (vector graphics), .jpg, .png, .bmp (pixel graphics) and more, see ggplot2::ggsave.

Value

An invisible ggplot2::ggplot object containing the diagram will returned. "Invisible" means, the no value will be returned (e.g. no console printout) if the function is not assigned to a variable via ⁠<-⁠. If the function is assigned, the returned object can be further manipulated with ggplot2::ggplot2-package methods or manually drawn by various functions like for example gridExtra::grid.arrange.

Examples

# Set some arbitrary decay parameter for a dim CW-OSL measurement of quartz
name <- c("fast", "slow")
lambda <- c(2, 0.02)
n <- c(1e6, 5e7)

# Build a component table
components <- data.frame(name, lambda, n)

# Simulate the CW-OSL curve and add some signal noise
curve <- simulate_OSLcomponents(components, simulate.curve = TRUE, add.poisson.noise = TRUE)

# Perform nonlinear regression at the simulated curve
fit_results <- fit_OSLcurve(curve, K.max = 2, output.complex = TRUE)

# Plot the fitting iterations and set them into context
plot_PhotoCrosssections(fit_results)
