Research progress of factors affecting apatite fission track annealing
-
Abstract
Apatite fission track annealing is a complicated chemical kinetic process. It is crucial for the application of fission track thermochronology to clearly understand the factors affecting annealing. In the article, the development of apatite fission track annealing model is summarized, and the research progress on factors influencing annealing is reviewed. Generally, the factors can be divided into internal and external ones. The internal factors include chemical composition, crystal structure, track length and radius, and crystallographic orientation, among which, chemical composition plays a leading role. Among the external factors, temperature is the dominant one, and pressure and etching conditions can also affect annealing. The research results are conducive to improving the apatite fission track annealing model and increase its accuracy as a thermal history recorder.
