富集地幔^40Ar／^36Ar比率的再评价

地幔的＾４０Ａｒ／＾３６Ａｒ比率含有重要的有关地球早期脱气程度的信息。许多研究者认为在亏损地幔，比如通过大洋中脊玄武岩（ＭＯＲＢ）采集的样品中＾４０Ａｒ／＾３６Ａｒ比率高达２８０００。然而，富集地幔中的＾４０Ａｒ／＾３６Ａｒ比率存在着激烈的争论。我们使用＾４Ｈｅ／＾４０Ａｒ－＾３６Ａｒ／＾４０Ａｒ和＾４Ｈｅ／＾４０Ａｒ－＾３Ｈｅ／＾４０Ａｒ图重新考察了ＭＯＲＢ和热点火山中Ｈｅ、Ａｒ惰性气体数据。在

土壤气中He、Ar组分在金家地区油气化探中应用研究

对济阳凹陷南缘与鲁西隆起接合部开展了土壤气Ｈｅ、Ａｒ组分及Ａｒ同位素测定，结果表明Ｈｅ的丰度从５．１—６μＬ／Ｌ（Ｓ．Ｔ．Ｐ），δＨｅ值从－４％－１６％，平均２．５９％；４０Ａｒ／３６Ａｒ比值从２５５—３２５，δ（４０Ａｒ／３６Ａｒ）值从＋１１％－１１％，Ｈｅ异常主要分布在研究区北部，而Ａｒ等值图分布比较复杂。Ｈｅ、Ａｒ、烃三组分之间的组合关系表明有３个远景区，最有意义的是中深层远景区。此外，根据地质分析及Ａｒ同位素特征表明中深层异常远景区不仅是与已知的第三系油田有关，而且还与深部Ｃ—Ｐ煤系地层有关，故属煤成气异常。

Comparison of Conventional K–Ar and Ar/Ar Dating of Young Mafic Volcanic Rocks

K–Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages have been measured on nine mafic volcanic rocks younger than 1 myr from the Snake River Plain (Idaho), Mount Adams (Washington), and Crater Lake (Oregon). The K–Ar ages were calculated from Ar measurements made by isotope dilution and K₂O measurements by flame photometry. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages are incremental-heating experiments using a low-blank resistance-heated furnace. The results indicate that high-quality ages can be measured on young, mafic volcanic rocks using either the K–Ar or the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar technique. The precision of an ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau age generally is better than the precision of a K–Ar age because the plateau age is calculated by pooling the ages of several gas increments. The precision of a plateau age generally is better than the precision of an isotope correlation (isochron) age for the same sample. For one sample the intercept of the isochron yielded an ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar value significantly different from the atmospheric value of 295.5. Recalculation of increment ages using the isochron intercept for the composition of nonradiogenic Ar in the sample resulted in much better agreement of ages for this sample. The results of this study also indicate that, given suitable material and modern equipment, precise K–Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages can be measured on volcanic rocks as young as the latest Pleistocene, and perhaps even the Holocene.

First Principles Calibration of 40Ar Abundances in 40Ar/39Ar Mineral Neutron Fluence Monitors: Methodology and Preliminary Results

The accuracy and traceability of geochronometers are of vital importance to questions asked by many Earth scientists. The widely applied ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronometer relies on the co-irradiation of samples with neutron fluence monitors (reference materials) of known ages; the ages and uncertainties of these monitors are critical to our ability to apply this chronometer. Previously, first principles, astronomical and optimisation calibrations have been made. The first principles method for determining the age of monitor minerals is the K-Ar method, which involves measurement of their ⁴⁰K and ⁴⁰Ar* abundances. The AQuA (Absolute Quantities of Argon) pipette system, which emits calibrated quantities of ⁴⁰Ar* via the ideal gas law, was used to calibrate the sensitivity of the system across a range of source pressures and estimate ⁴⁰Ar* abundances in neutron fluence monitors. These ⁴⁰Ar abundances were combined with existing ⁴⁰K abundance data for these monitors. Ages for HD-B1 and MD2 (GA1550) biotite fluence monitors were calculated and combined with intercalibration data for HD-B1 and Fish Canyon sanidine (FCs) to determine ages for FCs. Current results do not have the targeted accuracy when compared with previous calibrations; however, we show how the extensive methodology development presented here can be used towards making reliable future measurements.

Instrumentation Development for In Situ 40Ar/39Ar Planetary Geochronology

The chronology of the Solar System, particularly the timing of formation of extra‐terrestrial bodies and their features, is an outstanding problem in planetary science. Although various chronological methods for in situ geochronology have been proposed (e.g., Rb‐Sr, K‐Ar), and even applied (K‐Ar), the reliability, accuracy, and applicability of the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar method makes it by far the most desirable chronometer for dating extra‐terrestrial bodies. The method however relies on the neutron irradiation of samples, and thus a neutron source. Herein, we discuss the challenges and feasibility of deploying a passive neutron source to planetary surfaces for the in situ application of the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar chronometer. Requirements in generating and shielding neutrons, as well as analysing samples are described, along with an exploration of limitations such as mass, power and cost. Two potential solutions for the in situ extra‐terrestrial deployment of the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar method are presented. Although this represents a challenging task, developing the technology to apply the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar method on planetary surfaces would represent a major advance towards constraining the timescale of solar system formation and evolution.
