Reconstructing dust provenance from quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) signals: Preliminary results on loess from around the world
<p>Dataset for publication</p> <p><strong>Reconstructing dust provenance from quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) signals: </strong></p> <p><strong>Preliminary results on loess from around the world</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Quantitative provenance analysis studies are instrumental in understanding the tectonic and climatic processes that shape the earth’s landscape. Although the most abundant mineral in the sedimentary system is quartz, almost all studies in provenance analysis investigate accessory minerals. Quartz crystals contain a vast number of point defects, intrinsic or due to impurities. For a signal to be an accurate indicator of provenance one needs to show that it is either dose independent or reaches a quantifiable steady state characteristic of the source rock. For signals used by trapped charge dating methods (optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and electron spin resonance (ESR)), the latter option is the feasible one. By using quartz samples collected from the Chinese Loess Plateau (Luochuan loess-paleosol section), we show that the laboratory and natural dose response curves of E`<sub>1</sub> and and peroxy electron spin resonance signals of quartz (as defined later) overlap and reach a steady state for doses over about 1000 Gy. For E’<sub>1</sub> signals we attribute this steady state to reaching an equilibrium state between diamagnetic oxygen vacancies (the oxygen deficiency centre (ODC), Si=Si<em>)</em> and paramagnetic oxygen vacancies (E’<sub>1</sub>). For sedimentary quartz irradiated naturally or artificially in this dose range we show a strong linear relationship with zero intercept between E’<sub>1</sub> and peroxy signals for samples worldwide, supporting the hypothesis that these defects are Frenkel pairs. Further, we show significant correlations between the optically stimulated (OSL) sensitivity and the above two mentioned ESR signals. The very strong correlations (Pearson`s r ˃0.9) between E’<sub>1</sub>, peroxy and OSL sensitivity remain valid after the samples have been heated for 15 min to 350 ˚C for E’<sub>1</sub> to reach its maximum value, believed to be a result of the conversion of diamagnetic oxygen vacancies to E’<sub>1</sub>, clearly suggesting a relationship between OSL sensitivity and oxygen vacancies in general. Samples collected from different loess sites around the world can be distinguished based on both these OSL and ESR properties. An empirical increase in OSL sensitivity as well as oxygen related defect concentrations is observed in areas where the source material has components with older detrital zircon U-Pb ages, inferring a positive correlation between OSL sensitivity, as well as the signal intensity for E<sub>1</sub>` and peroxy defects and the age of the source rocks.</p>
Investigations on single and multi-grain optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) sensitivity and electron spin resonance (ESR) signals in quartz derived from sandstones: Insights on provenance of quartz in ancient depositional systems
<p><span>Trapped charge techniques of luminescence and electron spin resonance (ESR) are classic tools for dating Quaternary deposits. Over the past decade, these techniques have been routinely applied to investigate provenance and /or the sedimentary history of grains based on the different luminescence and ESR characteristics of quartz. Of these, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) sensitivity is one of the most widely investigated parameter for luminescence-based provenance approach. A majority of studies on this parameter are based on evaluation of multi-grain OSL sensitivity of the samples. This is particularly concerning because single-grain quartz luminescence studies have shown that the luminescence signal of a multi-grain aliquot is contributed by less than ~1-10% of the total grains. Since the sole criteria for discrimination of sources based on luminescence sensitivity relies on its intensity, therefore the results based on multi-grain analysis will most likely be skewed depending on the proportion and ‘brightness’ of a few grains. This demands a need to evaluate the potential of single-grain quartz OSL sensitivity in provenance studies. In this study, we investigate single and multi-grain quartz OSL sensitivities from compositionally different sandstones with well-characterised sources based on U-Pb zircon ages. We further complement this analysis with characterisation of ESR centres commonly used in quartz provenance, namely E’<sub>1</sub> and [AlO<sub>4</sub>]<sup>0</sup> centres. Our study shows that single-grain quartz OSL sensitivity can help distinguish between sediments that have a predominant input from a single source as compared to those with contribution from multiple sources, which otherwise cannot be inferred from multi-grain studies. Moreover, our results on characterisation of quartz-based ESR intensity of E’<sub>1</sub> and saturated [AlO<sub>4</sub>]<sup>0</sup> centres successfully differentiates between sandstones and further complements the luminescence-based characterisation. </span></p>
