Abstract. The electron spin resonance (ESR) of quartz has previously been shown to have potential for determining rock cooling histories, however this technique remains underdeveloped. In this study, we explore the ESR of a suite of samples from the Hida range of the Japanese Alps. We develop measurement protocols and models to constrain the natural trapped charge concentration as well as the parameters that govern signal growth and signal thermal decay. The thermal stability of the Al and Ti-centres is similar to that of the luminescence of feldspar. Inverting the ESR data for cooling yields similar thermal histories to paired luminescence data from the same samples. However, a series of synthetic inversions show that whereas the luminescence of feldspar can only resolve minimum cooling histories of ∼160 °C/Myr over timescales of 103–5 a, quartz ESR may resolve cooling histories as low as 25–50 °C/Myr over timescales of 103–7 a. This difference arises because quartz ESR has a higher dating limit than the luminescence of feldspar. These results imply that quartz ESR will be widely applicable in the constraint of late-stage rock cooling histories, providing new insights into landscape evolution over late-Quaternary timescales.

Inverting the ESR data for cooling yields similar thermal histories to paired luminescence data from the same samples. However, a series of synthetic inversions shows that whereas the luminescence of feldspar can only resolve minimum cooling histories of ∼160 ∘C Myr−1 over timescales of 103−5 years, quartz ESR may resolve cooling histories as low as 25–50 ∘C Myr−1 over timescales of 103−7 years. This difference arises because quartz ESR has a higher dating limit than the luminescence of feldspar.

Single crystals of sodium chlorate have been exposed to X-rays, at 77 K. Thermoluminescence glow curves of the irradiated crystals have been recorded from 77 to 400 K. Optical absorption spectra and electron spin resonance spectra of the crystals subjected to radiation damage have also been recorded as a function of radiation dose, and at different stages of thermal annealing between 77 and 400 K. Using the optical and ESR data, the glow peaks at 173, 185, and 249 K have been identified as due to O2− in the vicinity of ClO3, ClO3, itself, and O2− adjacent to ClO2, respectively. The trapping parameters for these centers have been determined.

Dating Method

The reef tracts of Barbados have been investigated by electron spin resonance dating; all parameters necessary for ESR dating (including effective α-efficiency and thermal stability) were determined without cross checking with another independent dating method. In addition, some U-series analyses were carried out in order to test the reliability of ESR. In most cases, the results show a satisfactory agreement between ESR and both these and previously published U-series dates (M. L. Bender, R. G. Fairbanks, F. W. Taylor, R. K. Matthews, J. G. Goddard, and W. S. Broecker (1979). Geological Society of America. Bulletin 90 , 577–594). For the oldest samples, ESR dates tend to exceed He/U dates, suggesting that there might have been He loss from aragonite. Raised reef tracts are assigned to high sea stands from successive interglacial stages 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. ESR and U-series (230Th/234U) dates for corals and molluses in North Barbados do not support the suggestion of N. P. James ((1971). Unpublished Thesis, McGill University, Montreal) that this region has subsided during part of the past 125,000 yr. Whereas the experimentally determined mean life (τ) of trapped electrons is only 500,000 yr for the ambient temperature in Barbados, there is no evidence from the comparison between ESR and other dates for thermal fading. This emphasizes the difficulty of experimental measurement of τ.
