High-resolution maar lake records with robust age control provide an ideal foundation for investigating paleoclimate change. However, in tropical-subtropical South China, the carbon reservoir effect of lake sediments is poorly understood, resulting in a lack of high precision records, hindering the comprehensive understanding of regional climate change and its forcing mechanism. In this study, based on a newly drilled core from the Tianyang (TY) maar lake located in South China, we conducted detailed radiocarbon dating of various materials to assess the reservoir effect and establish a reliable high-resolution chronology of the maar lake. Comparing radiocarbon ages of different grainsize and different fractions, the ages of bulk samples were closest to those of plant remains or charcoals which we consider as the reliable dating materials. Pairs of bulk samples and plant remain or charcoal ages indicate a limited but variable reservoir effect in TY maar lake. The reservoir effect is negligible from the surface to 623 cm (0–30.95 ka) and then gradually increased from negligible to approximately 700 years between the depth of 623–747 cm (30.95–37.15 ka). We hypothesize that the reservoir effect in the deeper part of the lake results from a combination of longer mean residence time due to lower sedimentation rates and increased groundwater level, which is linked to higher sea levels during the marine isotope stage 3 (MIS3). After reservoir correction, Bayesian age-depth modelling was performed based on 53 reliable radiocarbon ages, achieving a high-resolution chronology of TY maar lake covering the past ∼37 ka period with a mean age model uncertainty of 357 years, providing a reliable dating framework for paleoclimate reconstruction.
具有良好年龄控制的高分辨率马尔湖记录为研究古气候变化提供了理想的基础。然而,在热带-亚热带华南地区,湖泊沉积物的碳库效应知之甚少,导致缺乏高精度记录,阻碍了对区域气候变化及其强迫机制的全面认识。本研究以华南天阳maar湖新钻取的岩心为基础,对各种物质进行了详细的放射性碳定年,以评估储层效应,并建立了可靠的高分辨率maar湖年代学。对比不同粒度、不同馏分的放射性碳年龄,散装样品的年龄与植物残体或木炭的年龄最接近,可作为可靠的定年材料。对大量样品和植物残留物或木炭年龄表明,在TY maar湖有限但可变的水库效应。在623 ~ 747 cm (30.95 ~ 37.15 ka)深度,储层效应在700年间逐渐增强,在623 ~ 747 cm (30.95 ~ 37.15 ka)深度,储层效应在623 ~ 747 cm深度可忽略。我们假设湖泊较深部分的水库效应是由于较低的沉积速率和增加的地下水位造成的较长的平均停留时间的结合,这与海洋同位素阶段3 (MIS3)期间较高的海平面有关。在储层校正后,基于53个可靠的放射性碳年龄进行贝叶斯年龄-深度建模,获得了覆盖过去~ 37 ka的高分辨率年表,平均年龄模型不确定性为357年,为古气候重建提供了可靠的年代框架。

Whether glacial sediments were exposed to light (bleached) prior to burial is uncertain but critical for luminescence dating. In such contexts, quartz can have unstable and weak signals, feldspar have less bleachable and fading signals and both require statistical modelling to extract the true burial age data. This paper presents a new approach using feldspars measured at multiple elevated temperatures (MET) and screened to select grains with plateau equivalent dose values which should be the well-bleached and unfaded grains upon which to base a true burial age. The MET plateau approach was tested on an aeolian site in Canada and two former UK glacial sites. When applied to the Canadian aeolian samples, it showed that the method successfully accepted mostly well-bleached grains whilst excluding grains with fading or that had poor luminescence characteristics. When applied to a well dated glacial sequence it yielded ages in good agreement with existing independent chronologies. A previously undated glacial site yielded stratigraphically consistent ages but these are thought likely to be slight age over-estimates due to extremely limited bleaching at deposition. In summary, the MET plateau approach improved avoidance of partially bleached grains, avoided corrections for residuals and/or fading and reduced the need for statistical models to interpret equivalent dose distributions. However, some glacial sediments may have had so limited bleaching that these may still not be easy to luminescence date. The MET plateau approach if adopted could allow re-evaluation of existing glacial chronologies and extend luminescence dating to more glacial sediments.
冰川沉积物在埋藏之前是否暴露于光下(漂白)是不确定的,但对于发光测年至关重要。在这种情况下,石英可能具有不稳定和微弱的信号,长石具有较少的可漂白和衰落信号,并且都需要统计建模来提取真实的埋藏年龄数据。本文提出了一种新的方法,利用长石在多次高温(MET)下的测量和筛选来选择具有平台等效剂量值的颗粒,这些颗粒应该是充分漂白和未褪色的颗粒,以此为基础来确定真正的埋藏年龄。MET高原方法在加拿大的一个风成地点和两个前英国冰川地点进行了测试。当应用于加拿大风成样品时,表明该方法成功地接受了大部分漂白良好的颗粒,而排除了褪色或发光特性较差的颗粒。当应用于年代确定的冰川层序时,它得出的年龄与现有的独立年代学很吻合。一个先前未确定年代的冰川遗址产生了地层上一致的年龄,但这些年龄被认为可能是轻微的高估,因为沉积时的漂白非常有限。总之,MET平台方法改进了对部分漂白颗粒的避免,避免了对残差和/或衰落的修正,减少了对统计模型解释等效剂量分布的需要。然而,一些冰川沉积物可能漂白程度有限,因此可能仍不容易进行发光日期测定。如果采用MET高原方法,可以重新评估现有的冰川年代学,并将发光测年扩展到更多的冰川沉积物。

Impact craters caused by meteorite collisions are phenomena that dramatically alter the Earth's surface and disturb the natural carbon cycle in subsequent sedimentary environments. To determine the impact date and impact-driven old carbon effects on radiocarbon cycles recorded in post-impact lake sediments, we performed radiocarbon (14C) dating of various organic fractions (humic acids, humins, charcoal, and organic plant fragments of various sizes) in post-impact lake sediments of the Hapcheon impact crater, Korea. Charcoal and plant fragments larger than 500 μm in the post-impact lake sediments of core 20CR09 constituted the oldest fraction (>45,000 cal BP), indicating pre-impact ages. Compared to micro-organic fragments (10–100 μm) consisting of terrestrial plant tissues, pollen, and limited freshwater algae with a narrow age range of 39,300–42,300 cal BP, the 100–500-μm plant fragments showed a slightly older age range of 41,670–43,910 cal BP throughout the 33-m-long lake sediment core. This suggests significant influence of well-mixed syn-impact organic fragments transported from slope deposits consisting of impact breccias and fallback deposits. Humin ages in the lake sediment of core 20CR05 were similar to those of the micro-plant fragments in core 20CR09, indicating that the humin fraction is mainly allochthonous. Humic acids at a depth of ca. 71 m, corresponding to the lowermost post-impact lake sediments (Stage 1), were dated to ∼21,000 cal BP, showing strong influence of post-impact humic acids ages. Whereas those from mid-depth lake sediments (Stage 2) were dated to 35,000–43,000 cal BP. This age reversal indicates increased input of syn-impact allochthonous humic acids, supported by positive correlation with terrestrial mineral input. This study demonstrated significant syn-impact radiocarbon effects and resultant age reversals in post-impact early lake sediments. The syn-impact age may be estimated by comparing ages of different-sized plant fragments (e.g., 10–100, 100–500, and >500 μm), humin, and humic acids. These findings suggest that climatic and environmental interpretations of these post-impact early lake sediments should be conducted only after testing various organic materials, if radiocarbon dating is applied. Lastly, compared to surrounding areas following natural climate changes, post-impact early lake environments in impact craters must be considered as anomalies with different ecosystems due to hydrothermal activity.
陨石碰撞造成的撞击坑是一种现象,它极大地改变了地球表面,扰乱了随后沉积环境中的自然碳循环。为了确定撞击日期和撞击驱动的旧碳对撞击后湖泊沉积物中放射性碳循环的影响,我们对韩国Hapcheon撞击坑撞击后湖泊沉积物中的各种有机组分(腐植酸、人类碱、木炭和不同大小的有机植物碎片)进行了放射性碳(14C)测年。20CR09岩心撞击后湖泊沉积物中粒径大于500 μm的木炭和植物碎片构成最古老的组分(> 45000 cal BP),反映了撞击前的年龄。与陆生植物组织、花粉和有限的淡水藻类组成的10 ~ 100 μm的微生物碎屑(年龄范围为39,300 ~ 42,300 cal BP)相比,100 ~ 500 μm的植物碎屑年龄范围略大,为41,670 ~ 43,910 cal BP。这表明,从由冲击角砾岩和回退沉积组成的斜坡沉积物中运移的混合良好的同冲有机碎屑具有重要影响。20CR05岩心湖底沉积物的人类年龄与20CR09岩心微植物碎屑的人类年龄相似,表明人类组分主要是异源的。约71 m深度的腐植酸,对应于撞击后最底部的湖泊沉积物(阶段1),其年代为~ 21,000 cal BP,显示出撞击后腐植酸年龄的强烈影响。而中深湖沉积物(阶段2)的年代为35000 ~ 43000 cal BP。这种年龄反转表明同冲异源腐殖酸输入增加,与陆源矿物输入正相关。该研究表明,在撞击后的早期湖泊沉积物中存在显著的同步撞击放射性碳效应和由此产生的年龄反转。可以通过比较不同大小的植物碎片(如10-100 μm、100-500 μm和>;500 μm)、腐植酸和腐植酸的年龄来估计同冲年龄。这些发现表明,如果采用放射性碳定年法,这些撞击后早期湖泊沉积物的气候和环境解释应该只有在测试了各种有机物质之后才能进行。最后,与自然气候变化后的周边地区相比,由于热液活动,撞击后的早期湖泊环境必须被视为不同生态系统的异常。

The multi-aliquot regenerative dose (MAR) multi-elevated-temperature post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (MET-pIRIR) dating protocol exhibits great potential for extending the luminescence dating limit. However, further investigations are needed. Loess deposits on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) significantly differ from those on the Chinese Loess Plateau in terms of both formation age and dust source, making them ideal for studying the past climatic and environmental changes on the TP. However, detailed chronological studies are lacking. This study investigates the applicability of the MAR MET-pIRIR protocol to the Danba (DB) loess-paleosol sequence in the eastern TP, aiming to establish a chronological framework for this typical loess sequence. For TP loess samples with equivalent doses (De) below ∼950 Gy, multi-aliquot MET-pIRIR250 and single-aliquot pIR200IR290 dating methods yield consistent results. However, for samples with De exceeding ∼950 Gy, the SAR-pIR200IR290 method underestimates ages, while the MAR MET-pIRIR250 procedure remains reliable up to ∼1100 Gy. Using MAR MET-pIRIR protocol with the global standard growth curve method, we have established a new absolute chronological framework for the DB loess-paleosol sequence, indicating that loess deposition in the TP began at least ∼230 ka ago. The magnetic susceptibility records of this loess sequence reveal a pattern of alternating moist interglacial and dry glacial periods. During the last interglacial period, precipitation levels were significantly elevated and exhibited considerable variation in the eastern TP.
多等分再生剂量(MAR)多高温红外后红外激发发光(MET-pIRIR)定年方案在扩大发光定年限制方面具有很大的潜力。然而,还需要进一步的调查。青藏高原的黄土沉积物在形成年代和粉尘来源上与中国黄土高原有显著差异,是研究青藏高原过去气候环境变化的理想场所。然而,缺乏详细的时间顺序研究。本研究探讨了MAR MET-pIRIR协议在青藏高原东部丹坝(DB)黄土-古土壤序列中的适用性,旨在建立这一典型黄土序列的年代框架。对于当量剂量(De)低于~ 950 Gy的TP黄土样品,多组分MET-pIRIR250测年法和单组分pIR200IR290测年法的结果一致。然而,对于De超过~ 950 Gy的样品,SAR-pIR200IR290方法低估了年龄,而MAR MET-pIRIR250方法在~ 1100 Gy的范围内仍然可靠。利用MAR MET-pIRIR协议和全球标准生长曲线方法,我们建立了DB黄土-古土壤序列的一个新的绝对时间框架,表明TP的黄土沉积至少开始于~ 230ka以前。该黄土层序的磁化率记录显示了湿间冰期和干间冰期交替的格局。末次间冰期,青藏高原东部降水水平显著升高,且变化较大。

Cryptotephras have been widely used as a chronological tool for studying past environmental change, but many temporal and spatial gaps remain in our knowledge of the distribution of cryptotephra records. Here, last millennium cryptotephras were identified and analysed for the first time in eastern lowland Scotland. Six tephra layers were identified in six replicate short peat cores at Bankhead Moss, a raised bog in Fife, eastern lowland Scotland. Geochemical and stratigraphic correlations indicate that the tephras originate from Icelandic and Alaskan sources. We make firm correlations to Askja 1875 and WRAe, a broad correlation to Mount Churchill with the possibility of Lena tephra being inferred from its estimated timing, and uncertain correlations of three tephra layers of Icelandic origin, considering the mixed nature of these three tephra layers under the potential influence from post-depositional reworking and multiple volcanic sources, e.g. Hekla, Öræfajökull and Katla. This is the first secure record of the Askja 1875 tephra in the British Isles, which significantly extends its known spatial distribution and suggests a more complex dispersal pattern of this tephra than previously thought. Persistent presence of shards throughout parts of the peat sequences may reflect post-depositional movement of tephra shards within the peat, reworking from surrounding landscape, and/or sparse fallout from other eruptions. Our records indicate that any single peat core from this site gives a good approximation of the overall tephrostratigraphy, but there is considerable spatial variation in tephra concentrations between cores. Age-depth models for the six cores based on cryptotephras, spheroidal carbonaceous particle (SCP) counts, and radiocarbon dates likewise vary between cores, showing a pattern consistent with peat accumulation in a domed raised bog. These spatial differences in tephrostratigraphy highlight the value of a multiple-core approach in palaeoenvironmental peatland research.
隐隐蝇已被广泛用作研究过去环境变化的时间工具,但我们对隐隐蝇记录分布的认识仍存在许多时空差距。在这里,人们首次在苏格兰东部低地发现并分析了上个千年的隐语。在苏格兰东部低地法夫的一个凸起的沼泽班克海德莫斯,在六个复制的短泥炭岩心中发现了六个tephra层。地球化学和地层对比表明,tephras来源于冰岛和阿拉斯加。我们与Askja 1875和WRAe进行了确定的相关性,与Churchill山进行了广泛的相关性,从其估计的时间推断出Lena tephra的可能性,并考虑到这三个tephra层在沉积后改造和多个火山源(例如Hekla, Öræfajökull和Katla)的潜在影响下的混合性质,对冰岛起源的三个tephra层进行了不确定的相关性。这是在英伦三岛上第一个关于Askja 1875羚羊的可靠记录,它大大扩展了其已知的空间分布,并表明这种羚羊的分布模式比以前认为的要复杂得多。在泥炭序列的部分地区,碎片的持续存在可能反映了泥炭中tephra碎片的沉积后运动,周围景观的重新作用,和/或其他喷发的稀疏沉降物。我们的记录表明,该地点的任何一个泥炭岩心都能很好地近似于整体的地热地层,但岩心之间的地热浓度存在相当大的空间差异。六个岩心的年龄深度模型基于隐层、球形碳质颗粒(SCP)计数和放射性碳测年同样在岩心之间变化,显示出与圆顶凸起沼泽泥炭堆积一致的模式。这些地层学的空间差异突出了多核方法在古环境泥炭地研究中的价值。

This is the first secure record of the Askja 1875 tephra in the British Isles, which significantly extends its known spatial distribution and suggests a more complex dispersal pattern of this tephra than previously thought. Persistent presence of shards throughout parts of the peat sequences may reflect post-depositional movement of tephra shards within the peat, reworking from surrounding landscape, and/or sparse fallout from other eruptions.

Constraining the age of glaciofluvial deposits is essential for reconstructing paleoglacial dynamics. While luminescence dating is among the most commonly used approaches, incomplete resetting of the signal before sediment deposition makes its application to such deposits challenging. Single grain (SG) and cobble luminescence dating have been used to account for heterogeneous bleaching with different success, and are tested here in combination on glaciofluvial deposits from one site in the northern Alpine foreland. Previous chronological investigations indicate that deposition of the proglacial outwash occurred ca. 29 ka ago. SG feldspar results on sand lens and gravel sandy matrix samples underestimate the previous age estimates due to the occurrence of grains with low equivalent dose (De) values. When low De values are discarded, the estimated ages are in agreement with the independent constraints. Luminescence-depth profiles obtained from four cobbles show (1) no or only shallow bleaching, and (2) high variability between cores and surfaces of the same clast. Both aspects highlight the necessity of measuring numerous clasts and several cores in order to detect well-bleached clasts and profiles. The limited signal resetting can be explained by the proximity of the deposit to the glacial front. The intra-cobble variability is instead potentially related to heterogeneity in the cobbles’ lithology, implying differences in dosimetry, signal stability and light attenuation within the clasts. Electron microprobe analyses of feldspar in the clasts and comparison with the independent age constraints suggest that (1) the luminescence signal of the rock slices derive from both Na- and K-rich feldspars and (2) an average internal potassium content may be a good first order estimate for dose rate calculations. Overall, the present study highlights both the challenges and the potential of applying SG and cobble luminescence dating to partially bleached glaciofluvial deposits.
确定冰川河流沉积的年龄是重建古冰川动力学的必要条件。虽然发光测年是最常用的方法之一,但在沉积物沉积之前不完全重置信号使其应用于此类沉积物具有挑战性。单粒(SG)和鹅卵石发光测年法已被用于解释非均质白化,取得了不同的成功,并在北阿尔卑斯前陆的一个地点结合冰川河流沉积物进行了测试。以往的年代学研究表明,前冰期冲洗液的沉积发生在大约29 ka以前。砂透镜体和砾石砂基质样品的SG长石结果低估了以前的年龄估计,这是由于出现了低当量剂量(De)值的颗粒。当丢弃低De值时,估计的年龄符合独立约束。从四个鹅卵石中获得的发光深度剖面显示:(1)没有或只有浅漂白,(2)同一碎屑的岩心和表面之间具有很高的变异性。这两个方面都强调了测量大量的碎屑和多个岩芯的必要性,以便检测漂白良好的碎屑和剖面。有限的信号重置可以用沉积物靠近冰川前缘来解释。相反,鹅卵石内部的变异性可能与鹅卵石岩性的非均质性有关,这意味着碎屑中剂量学、信号稳定性和光衰减的差异。对岩屑中长石的电子探针分析和与独立年龄约束的比较表明:(1)岩屑的发光信号来自富钠长石和富钾长石;(2)平均内部钾含量可能是计算剂量率的良好一级估计。总的来说,本研究强调了将SG和鹅卵石发光测年应用于部分漂白的冰川-河流沉积物的挑战和潜力。

Volcanic sediments are challenging to date with luminescence-based methods. Both main minerals used for dating—quartz and K-rich feldspar—commonly have suboptimal luminescence properties when of volcanic origins, primarily a low signal intensity and, for K-rich feldspars, high rates of anomalous fading. The present work provides a case study of sediment samples from the Leang Bulu Bettue (LBB) archaeological site in Indonesia, a key site in our understanding of the early human occupation of the island of Sulawesi. We show that currently available state-of-the-art methods can provide robust optical ages for volcanic sediments. Through various reliability tests, we establish the suitability of a post-IR IR stimulated luminescence (pIRIR) standardised growth curve (SGC) procedure for De estimation of ‘micro-aliquots’ containing 5–10 grains of K-rich feldspar, and then combine this method with estimates of environmental dose rate to determine 10 new reliable and finite optical ages for the sedimentary deposits at LBB. Furthermore, by applying the LnTn method to circumvent truncation of the De distribution caused by the non-linearity of the dose response curve in the higher dose range, we could extend the site's luminescence-based chronology to span the interval ∼15–210 ka. The new chronology is in keeping with previous radiocarbon and U-series ages for the site's upper layers. We show that the low fading rate of micro-aliquots relative to using large aliquots composed of hundreds of grains lies in a brightness-based selection. By targeting bright grains with low fading rates, the need for fading corrections is greatly reduced and they can be made with a smaller uncertainty propagated through into the final age estimate, resulting in optical ages of improved accuracy and precision for volcanic sediments.
用基于发光的方法确定火山沉积物的年代具有挑战性。用于测定年代的两种主要矿物--石英和富钾长石--在火山成因中通常都具有次优的发光特性,主要是信号强度低,而对于富钾长石来说,异常衰减率高。本研究对印度尼西亚 Leang Bulu Bettue(LBB)考古遗址的沉积物样本进行了案例研究,该考古遗址是我们了解人类早期占领苏拉威西岛的关键地点。我们的研究表明,目前最先进的方法可以为火山沉积物提供可靠的光学年龄。通过各种可靠性测试,我们确定了后红外红外激发发光(pIRIR)标准化生长曲线(SGC)程序是否适用于估算含有 5-10 粒富含钾长石的 "微小碱块 "的年龄,然后将该方法与环境剂量率估算相结合,为 LBB 沉积物确定了 10 个新的可靠和有限的光学年龄。此外,通过应用 LnTn 方法来规避高剂量范围内剂量响应曲线的非线性所造成的 De 分布截断,我们可以将该遗址基于发光的年代学扩展到 15-210 ka 之间。新的年代学与之前遗址上层的放射性碳和铀系列年龄相一致。我们的研究表明,相对于使用由数百个颗粒组成的大样本,微样本的低衰减率在于基于亮度的选择。通过选择衰减率低的明亮颗粒,大大减少了对衰减校正的需求,而且在进行衰减校正时,最终年龄估计的不确定性较小,从而提高了火山沉积物光学年龄的准确性和精确度。

Determining the exact age of volcanic activity in the Northern Taiwan Volcanic Zone (NTVZ) is essential for comprehending Taiwan's tectonic evolution. The timing and duration of the volcanic processes that formed the NTVZ remain uncertain despite the availability of geochronological, geochemical, and geophysical data. While extensive efforts have been directed towards investigating the age of the Tatun Volcanic Group, the primary feature of the NTVZ, many other aspects require further examination. This study concentrates on two offshore islets in the northern region of the NTVZ. We present new 40Ar/39Ar ages of 0.252 ± 0.018 Ma for a lava flow, representing an early stage of volcanic activity, and 0.118 ± 0.012 Ma for a dike, representing the latest stage of volcanic activity around Pengjia Islet. A sample collected from Mianhua Islet did not yield a reasonable age due to high uncertainty, likely attributable to young and low radiogenic argon. Field observations support the interpretation that volcanic activity on both islets is considerably younger than previously estimated. This study corroborates the hypothesis from geophysical studies that submarine NTVZ features to record a potentially active magmatic reservoir offshore of northern Taiwan. By refining our understanding of spatio-temporal patterns in volcanic activity, this study contributes to volcanic hazard assessment in Taiwan and surrounding areas.
确定北台湾火山带(NTVZ)火山活动的确切年代对于理解台湾的构造演化至关重要。尽管有地质年代、地球化学和地球物理数据,但形成北台湾火山带的火山过程的时间和持续时间仍不确定。虽然人们已经为研究大屯火山群(NTVZ 的主要特征)的年龄做出了大量努力,但还有许多其他方面需要进一步研究。本研究集中于北部岩溶带北部地区的两个近海小岛。我们为彭家垴附近的一个熔岩流(代表火山活动的早期阶段)和一个堤坝(代表火山活动的晚期阶段)提供了新的 40Ar/39Ar 年龄,分别为 0.252 ± 0.018 Ma 和 0.118 ± 0.012 Ma。从棉花屿采集的样本由于不确定性较高,没有得到合理的年龄,这可能是由于年轻和低放射性氩造成的。实地观察支持这样的解释,即这两个小岛上的火山活动比以前估计的要年轻得多。这项研究证实了地球物理研究的假设,即海底 NTVZ 特征记录了台湾北部近海潜在的活跃岩浆库。通过完善我们对火山活动时空模式的理解,本研究有助于台湾及周边地区的火山灾害评估。

Application of multiple-centers ESR dating to middle Pleistocene fluviolacustrine sediments and insights into the dose underestimation from the Ti–H center at high equivalent doses 将多中心 ESR 测年法应用于中更新世流积岩沉积物,以及对高当量剂量下 Ti-H 中心剂量低估的见解

The Ti–H center exhibits rapid and complete optical bleaching properties, meaning it has significant potential for dating applications. However, the equivalent dose of Ti–H centers is underestimated when total doses received by quartz during its geological history reaches a higher level, and there appears to be linked to saturation of the equivalent dose obtained from Ti–H centers. To investigate this phenomenon, a series of samples were analyzed from two sections at Ximachi in Heqing County, China, which have strong Ti–H signals. The sample ages were obtained using the electron spin resonance (ESR) multiple-centers approach, and the reliability of the ages was validated by comparison with optically simulated luminescence (OSL) ages and between different paramagnetic centers. The ESR data demonstrate that the Ti–H centers can provide accurate dose estimates up to 750–950 Gy, with varying degrees of underestimation at high doses. Combined with previously published Ti–H data, it is evident that the upper threshold of the accurate data obtained from Ti–H centers depends on the sample, and may be positively correlated with the Ti–H/(Ti–Li + Ti–H) ratio (option C/D). According to the provenance significance of the Ti–H/(Ti–Li + Ti–H) ratio, we propose that the Ximachi samples have high Ti–H/(Ti–Li + Ti–H) ratios and then equivalent dose saturation values of Ti–H centers, which may be related to the thermal history of the analyzed quartz grains.
Ti-H 中心具有快速、完全的光学漂白特性,这意味着它在测年应用方面具有巨大的潜力。然而,当石英在地质历史中接受的总剂量达到较高水平时,Ti-H 中心的等效剂量就会被低估,而且从 Ti-H 中心获得的等效剂量似乎与饱和有关。为了研究这一现象,我们对中国鹤庆县西马池两个具有较强 Ti-H 信号的地段的一系列样品进行了分析。采用电子自旋共振(ESR)多中心方法获得了样品年龄,并通过与光学模拟发光(OSL)年龄以及不同顺磁中心之间的比较验证了年龄的可靠性。ESR 数据表明,Ti-H 中心可提供高达 750-950 Gy 的准确剂量估计值,但在高剂量时会有不同程度的低估。结合以前公布的 Ti-H 数据,可以明显看出,从 Ti-H 中心获得的准确数据的上限取决于样本,并可能与 Ti-H/(Ti-Li + Ti-H) 比率(选项 C/D)正相关。根据Ti-H/(Ti-Li + Ti-H)比值的出处意义,我们认为西马池样品的Ti-H/(Ti-Li + Ti-H)比值较高,那么Ti-H中心的当量剂量饱和值也较高,这可能与所分析的石英颗粒的热历史有关。
