Average life of oxygen vacancies of quartz in sediments

Average life of oxygen vacancies of quartz in sediments is estimated by using the ESR(electron spin resonance) signals of E' centers from the thermal activation technique. The experi-mental results show that the second-order kinetics equation is more applicable to the life estima-tion compared with the first order equation. The average life of oxygen vacancies of quartz from4895 to 4908 deep sediments in the Tarim Basin is about 10~(18) a at 27℃.     

沉积物中石英ESR测年功率饱和效应的初步研究

介绍了几组沉积物中石英ESR功率饱和效应的基础实验情况,认为在用石英进行ESR测年时,微波功率的选择是一个重要参数,它直接影响累积剂量(AD)的求取,从而严重影响测年结果。在某些特定的地质环境下(如黄土,海洋沉积物),采用比较高的微波功率,可从沉积物石英的E＇心得到较老沉积物(大于50万年)可信的ESR年代。
