COMPUTER PROGRAMS TO MODEL 4°Ar/39Ar DIFFUSION DATA FROM MULTIDOMAIN SAMPLES
نویسنده
چکیده
-Computer programs in FORTRAN 77 that calculate age spectra, Arrhenius plots, and log (r/ro) plots to manually model 4°Ar/39Ar diffusion data from multidomain samples are presented. Using these programs, one also can estimate the domain distribution parameters and cooling history (CH) by fitting the experimental data. The estimates are calculated iteratively starting from data obtained from the actual Arrhenius, log(r/ro ) and age spectrum plots.

Having a Distribution of Diffusion Domain Sizes
Many 4øAr/39Ar age spectra for alkali feldspars are significantly different from the model age spectra calculated for slowly cooled samples composed of diffusion domains of a single size, and the Arrhenius plots for these samples show departures from linearity that are inconsistent with diffusion from domains of equal size. The most plausible explanation for these discrepancies is the existence...
متن کامل40Ar/39Ar and K–Ar age constraints on the timing of regional deformation, south coast of New South Wales, Lachlan Fold Belt: problems and implications*
The Lachlan Fold Belt is well known for its complex deformational history, with a number of orogenic events and associated structural styles recognised. Recent syntheses of this orogenic evolution have emphasised the difficulty of identifying fold-belt-wide deformational episodes and have inferred the existence of diachronous deformation zones with an overall merging of episodic orogenic events...
متن کاملSystematic Analysis of K-feldspar 40Ar/39Ar Step Heating Results II: Relevance of Laboratory Argon Diffusion Properties to Nature
We examine a database containing the results of Ar/Ar step-heating experiments performed on 194 basement K-feldspars to recover thermal history information. Qualitative examination of Ar/Ar systematics reveals that about half of the K-feldspars examined are sufficiently well-behaved to be suitable for thermal history analysis. Correlation algorithms are developed to quantitatively assess the de...
متن کاملComment on " Multipath Ar transport in K - feldspar deduced from isothermal heating experiments " by Igor Villa
Villa [1] interpreted 39Ar loss experiments performed with a low-temperature, igneous K-feldspar (gal) as being inconsistent with multi-diffusion domain model (MDD; see [2]). The applicability of the MDD model for gal was dismissed in [1] exclusively on the basis of two features of the experiments: (1) initial steps at lower temperature produced more gas loss than initial steps at higher temper...
متن کامل40Ar=39Ar thermochronometry of K-feldspar from the KTB borehole, Germany
The great depth and relatively steep geothermal gradient (3⁄429oC=km) of the KTB deep crustal borehole, located in the Bavarian region of Germany, provides the basis for our study of diffusive argon loss in K-feldspar. The observed borehole temperature at 9 km is 3⁄4265oC which reaches well into the argon closure interval for K-feldspar (3⁄4125–350oC). Four microcline and two adularia samples d...
