Parmanu-Gunak: Data Reduction Software for Isotope Dilution Analysis     

Dipankar Pathak 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2023,47(1):185-197

Isotope dilution (ID) is a widely used analytical technique to determine elemental abundance to a high degree of accuracy and precision, using a spiked isotope tracer. This technique also enables efficient correction of the inevitable phenomenon of analytical mass fractionation during mass spectrometric analysis. It is also used to determine stable isotope variations of an element in a sample relative to a reference material, using tracers enriched in two isotopes (popularly known as the double spike method). Isotope dilution data reduction can be performed in Microsoft® Excel™ using different algorithmic approaches. Additional software such as iolite and MATLAB® offer algorithm implementations to perform these calculations. These are however limited to use within particular laboratories/research groups, or either require additional cost-bound software or some degree of knowledge in computer programming languages for use, or all of these. To ease this situation, a graphical user interface-based software is proposed (here named Parmanu-Gunak, meaning Atom-Calculator in Sanskrit text) to invert both single and double spiked isotope data, with the aim of making it a standard tool for ID data reduction. Examples of Nd and Mo isotopes are used to demonstrate the robustness of the program.  相似文献

本文应用全溶样品的等时线模式,较成功地测定了藏北高原西南部扎布耶盐湖SZK01孔岩芯中含不等量碳酸盐粘土的230Th/238U年龄,建立了青藏高原腹地海拔4000 m以上湖泊120 ka以来连续的同位素年龄标尺,从而为扎布耶盐湖及其周缘地区古环境古气候演化研究奠定了时间坐标。根据230Th/238U年龄数据,SZK01孔的平均沉积速率约为68 cm/ka。然而不同层段的沉积速率差异较大,变化在20.8~128.8 cm/ka,其快慢变化反映了该湖从短命深湖、动荡浅湖、滨湖到盐湖的环境变化,与高分辨率SZK02孔的研究结果相一致。讨论了测年模式的适应性﹑样品的U封闭性和应用的优越性,提出开展湖区及周边各类型水体的U、Th同位素化学行为研究和检验沉积物中多源Th对定年的影响将是今后年代学研究的重要内容。  相似文献

Cooling and inferred exhumation history of the Ryoke metamorphic belt in the Yanai district, south-west Japan: Constraints from Rb–Sr and fission-track ages of gneissose granitoid and numerical modeling

Abstract The Ryoke metamorphic belt in south-west Japan consists mainly of I-type granitoids and associated low-pressure/high-temperature metamorphic rocks. In the Yanai district, it has been divided into three structural units: northern, central and southern units. In this study, we measured the Rb–Sr whole-rock–mineral isochron ages and fission-track ages of the gneissose granodiorite in the central structural unit. Four Rb–Sr ages fall in a range of ca 89–87 Ma. The fission-track ages of zircon and apatite are 68.9 ± 2.6 Ma and 57.4 ± 2.5 Ma (1σ error), respectively. Combining the newly obtained ages with previously reported (Th–)U–Pb ages from the same unit, thermochronologic study revealed two distinctive cooling stages; 1) a rapid cooling (> 40°C/Myr) for a period (~7 Myr) soon after the peak metamorphism (~ 95 Ma) and 2) the subsequent slow cooling stage (~ 5°C/Myr) after ca 88 Ma. The first rapid cooling stage corresponds to thermal relaxation of the intruded granodiorite magma and its associated metamorphic rocks, and to the uplift by a displacement along low-angle faults which initiated soon after the intrusion of the magma. Uplift by the later stage deformation having formed large-scale upright folds resulted in progress of the exhumation during the first stage. The average exhumation velocity of the stage is ≥ 2 mm/yr. During the second stage, the rocks were not accompanied by ductile deformation and were exhumed with the rate of 0.1–0.2 mm/yr. The difference in the exhumation velocity between the first and second cooling stages resulted from the difference in the thickness of the crust and in the activity of ductile deformation between the early and later stages of the orogenesis.  相似文献

采用连续激光直接对岩石光片样品微区熔样，以高灵敏度、高精确度的质谱计测试，对南极乔治王岛玄武岩样品进行（４０）Ａｒ－（３９）Ａｒ法定年，取得了成功。样品置反应堆中心Ｅ－５孔道，以１．８×１０（１８）ｎ／ｃｍ２的快中子总通量照射，时间为５０ｈ，放射性冷却后进行测定。样品的加热源为自行设计的Ｎｄ：ＹＡＧ固体激光器，以Ｈｅ－Ｎｅ准激光器导光。测定中对４个２５０μｍ直径的微区分别在１５００℃高温熔融，经Ｚｒ－Ａｌ泵纯化的气体用ＭＭ１２００质谱计测量氩同位素各峰值。经计算得到该样品的等时年龄为５２．４±１．１Ｍａ，远远低于江个点的视年龄值，而（（４０）Ａｒ／（３６）Ａｒ）＞＞２９５．５。这不仅证明该样品含有过剩氩，同时也证明了由Ｋ－Ａｒ稀释法得到的偏高年龄值亦是样品中存在过剩氩造成的。激光微区等时年龄的获得进一步厘定了南极乔治王岛北海岸火山岩时代为第三纪，同时证明了我们建立的激光质谱微区、微粒熔样和测定技术是可行的和成功的。  相似文献   

Rb-Sr and U-Pb isotope studies on migmatites from the Schwarzwald (Germany): constraints on isotopic resetting during Variscan high-temperature metamorphism   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Mineral and isotope studies were undertaken on migmatites from the Schwarzwald, Moldanubian zone of the Variscan belt. The aims of the study were to date the migmatite formation and to determine the processes involved in migmatization in order to evaluate their influence on isotopic resetting. Textural evidence and the comparison of mineral compositions from leucosomes and mesosomes of two centimetre-scale migmatite profiles, respectively, suggest that migmatitic textures and mineral assemblages were formed by metamorphic segregation (deformation-enhanced mass transport) rather than by partial melting (anatexis). The results of Rb-Sr thin-slab dating on these profiles indicate that Sr isotopes were not completely reset during migmatization. No true isochron ages, but ages of approximate isotopic homogenization were obtained on the thin slabs by calculating ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios back to various stages in their evolution. The coincidence of these Rb-Sr data with U-Pb ages of monazites from migmatites and non-migmatitic gneisses shows that gneisses and migmatites were formed during the same high-temperature event in the Carboniferous (330-335 Ma). The observation that high-temperature metamorphism failed to equilibrate Sr isotopes on the centimetre-scale imposes limitations on the use of conventional whole-rock isochron techniques in dating migmatites.  相似文献

在山东太古宙沂水杂岩的变基性岩类中首次获得的Sm-Nd全岩等时线同位素年龄为2997Ma,证实了山东中部的郯庐断裂带中有中太古代麻粒岩相表壳岩存在。沂水杂岩的岩石组合主要有二辉斜长麻粒岩、二辉斜长片麻岩、二辉铁英岩(少量)、二辉斜长角闪岩和紫苏花岗岩类等,它们组成了山东最老的汞丹山地块,其时代大致相当于胶东群,但层位可能更为偏下。沂水杂岩为高角闪岩相至麻粒岩相。变基性岩的原岩相当低钾拉斑玄武岩,稀土配分具有较平坦型和轻稀土富集型两种模式。岩石的ε_(Nd)(t)值为+3.8±0.3,物源来自亏损(上)地幔。它与华北陆台北缘麻粒岩相中部分岩石的岩性十分相似,表明其源区的化学特征相似,但主体的稀土模式有所不同,说明太古宙不同地区相似岩石地球化学的不均匀性。  相似文献
