摘要:It is important in fine-grain TL dating that the full α dose must be converted into the equivalent β dose. Although the conversion coefficient K for internal radiation efficiency can not be measured directly for each sample, it is possible to measure the external radiation efficiency K 3.7 . For this purpose a special study for the conversion factor of K to K 3.7 has been made using ultrathin TLD. The results show that the conversion factor of the TLD for archaeological samples is 0.847, which is in agreement with the calculated value 0.85.
摘要:The age determination of ancient porcelain using the pre-dose technique in TL dating was reported. The variation of beta dose with depth below the surface of the porcelain slice, the thermal activation characteristic(TAC) for 110℃ peak, the measurement of paleodose and the estimation of annual dose were studied. The results show that this technique is suitable for authenticity testing of ancient porcelain, but both accuracy and precision for porcelain dating are worse than those for pottery, because porcelain differs from pottery on composition, structure and firing temperature. Besides, some complicated factors in the pre-dose technique would be the possible cause of the greater errors.
摘要:The thermal activation characteristics of porcelain slice samples for pre-dose dating were obtained by using the multiple activation method. The influence of activation temperature on TL dating was also studied. The results show that choosing a temperature corresponding to the maximum sensitivity on the TAC curve as the activation temperature is very important in the multiple activation method.

摘要:Twenty seven samples were collected with different sediment features and grain sizes. Their IRSL intensities were measured and the equivalent dose D E extrapolated. The experiments show that all samples with fine grain size usually present a very low natural IRSL intensity due to a complete bleaching while the coarse ones have a considerable residual IRSL level.
摘要:The isothermal annealing experiments on synthetic hydroxyapatite and fossil tooth enamel samples show that the decay of its g=2.0018 line obeys the mixed first- and second-order annealing kinetics. The 2nd-order decay constant depends strongly on temperature and is roughly estimated to be about 10 -19 g/s for hydroxyapatite at 280℃. The effect of the 2nd-order annealing kinetics on ESR dating of ancient (early Pleistocene) fossil tooth enamel samples should be further studied.
摘要:The ages of 18 samples taken from cores ZQ 2 and ZQ 4 in Zhujiangkou Basin of the South China Sea were determined by using ESR dating technique for Ge centres of quartz in sediments. The coincidence of ESR ages with those measured by other methods shows the reliableness of the ESR dating.
摘要:The ages of bricks and tiles on Mao Pagoda, located in Qingpu County, the western suburbs of Shanghai, were determined by using fine-grain technique in TL dating. The time of construction, renovation and reparation of Mao Pagoda were inferred.
摘要:A kind of red LEDs with a wavelength of 655nm provides light illumination of loess samples while pretreating the samples with minimal effect on the latent IRSL. The IRSL signal is decreased to two percent after 20 minutes bleaching by sun light. It implies that the residual signals may be neglected even when dating very young loess samples, and that IRSL dating has significant potential in dating very poorly-bleached sediments. The recuperation of IRSL in loess is negligible, so the measurable age limit for IRSL is much lower than that for GLSL.
摘要:The pre-dose dating using fine polymineral grains is reported for the first time. Distinct advantages of the method are using the single-activation technique and eliminating the test of thermal activation characteristic(TAC), therefore the change of TAC due to heating can be avoided. This method has been used to judge the authenticity of ancient pottery. It is shows that the technique is particularly suitable for the samples which are very young or with poor TL characteristic at the range of high temperature.
摘要:Based on the TL dating for a set of samples in Dongliuhetun Trench, the correlation between the sequence of TL ages and stratigraphic succession has been analysed. And the paleoearthquake events are divided according to the sequence of TL ages.
摘要:A set of data collected recent years for the natural thermoluminescence(NTL) and cosmogenic nuclide of a group of ordinary chondrites with terrestrial ages<30 years has been examined in order to see if there is evidence for changes in radiation and thermal history which correlate with cosmic ray exposure age. It was found that the meteorites with long cosmic ray exposure ages had smaller perihelia, probably because of a similar evolution of their orbits. The results suggest that the meteoroid orbits of ordinary chondrites evolved from perihelion of 1.0 AU to 0.9 AU over the last 50 million years. The meteoroid bodies experiencing solar reheating during exposure have slightly lower natural TL levels than the normal ones, while the reheating events before exposure affect natural TL levels more obviously.

摘要:Thirteen sandy soil specimens were collected from the earth’s surface along an exploring line across the target area. Three different ways (called A, B and C for short) were chosen to get the TL data of every specimen for anlysis. Our comparative study confirms that the way A (using the original mixed sandy soil sample) appears most desirable, the way B (using fine-grain sample only) comes second, whereas the way C (inserting some LiF slices in every collected specimen at 25mm deep for 175 days before measuring TL signals from the slices) dose not seem successful. A brief discussion is given.
