A systematic study of the radioluminescence properties of single feldspar grains

摘要

Spectral radioluminescence properties of a large number of single grains were measured. The main emission in K-feldspar grains occurs in the infrared range with the same dose characteristic as shown by multi-grain samples. For plagioclases, large differences in spectral radioluminescence between single-grains and multi-grain aliquots were detected. Differences in the saturation of the dose characteristics of the individual emissions have been observed. Consequences for dating application are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
