<title>Abstract</title> In the current study, the effects of heat treatment on the thermoluminescence (TL) and structural properties of zinc blend samples were studied. The samples were annealed after being heated for different time periods from 2 up to 10 hours. The wurtzite hexagonal phase was observed upon heat treatment; however, its percentage decreased with the treatment period. The morphology of ZnS particles was studied by the HR-TEM analysis and it displayed an aggregated ZnS nanoparticles with almost uniform shape and size. The TL-glow curves for each sample were analysed using the CGCD method. Six trapping peaks exist between 0.98 and 1.45 eV through the deconvolution of the glow curves. The number of peaks were increased to 8 peaks for the fourth treatment, located between 0.95 and 1.56 eV. The activation energies and the frequency factors for getting traps were evaluated.
