10Be exposure ages of Quaternary Glaciers in Antarctica

In situ terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide(TCN)has been widely applied to date the ages of Quaternary glacial deposits in Antarctica and plays an important role in reconstructing the glacial evolution and climate change.It helps to under‐stand the Antarctic ice sheet's evolution process in Quaternary and shed light on the application of Cosmogenic Nu‐clide exposure dating technique in Glacial Geomorphology.In this paper,we retrieved 49510Be age samples in Ant‐arctica from literature published between 2004 and 2020 and recalculated the TCN ages using version 3.0 online cal‐culator of Cosmic-Ray Produced Nuclide Systematics on Earth(CRONUS-Earth).Several conclusions can be drawn from the results:(1)75%of the exposure ages are younger than 400 ka,and 91%younger than 1,100 ka.Northern Antarctic Peninsula exposure result is visibly younger than the main glaciers in East Antarctica due to climate change and geological evaluation since the LGM(Last Glacial Maximum).(2)TCN ages are relevant to the samples'relative positions in the Antarctic continent,but a relationship between their ages and elevations is yet to be determined based on the collected data.

Radar isochronic layer dating for a deep ice core at Kunlun Station, Antarctica

The ages and accumulation rates of ice are important boundary conditions for paleoclimatic ice models. Radardetected isochronic layers can be used to date the ice column beneath the ice surface and infer past accumulation rates. A Deep Ice-Core Drilling Project has been carried out at Kunlun station in the Dome A region, East Antarctica. Radio echo sounding data are collected during the 2004/2005 Chinese National Research Expedition and the 2007/2008 Dome Connection East Antarctica project of the Alfred Wegener Institute(Germany). Radar isochronic layers from the dataset were linked to compare a new deep ice core site from Kunlun station and the Vostok ice core site. Ten visible layers, accounting for ~50% ice thickness at the Kunlun station ice core site, were dated based on the Vostok ice core chronology. At 1,640 m depth below surface, an age of ~160,400 yr was determined, corresponding to a bright layer at Kunlun station. These layers provided geometric information on the past surface of the ice sheet around the ice core site through the Wisconsin glacial stage, Eemian interglacial and Marine Isotope Stage6. Based on a simple ice flow model and the age-depth relationship, we concluded that the region around the Kunlun ice core site had lower past accumulation rates, consistent with the present pattern. The age-depth relationship would thus be expected to correlate and constrain the chronology of the deep ice core at Kunlun station in the future.

Facial synthesis of highly stable and bright CsPbX(X=Cl,Br,I)perovskite nanocrystals via an anion exchange at the water-oil interface

Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals(NCs)have attracted unprecedented attention owing to their compelling properties for optoelectronic applications.Compared with the classical hot-injection method,the roomtemperature(RT)synthetic strategy is more facile and tender,but it is hard to obtain stable CsPbI3 NCs and it usually uses polar solvents that sometimes reduce the stability and properties of NCs.Here,we reported a simple approach to synthesize highly efficient and stable CsPbI3 as well as other colortunable CsPbX3 NCs with high quantum efficiency at room temperature via an anion exchange at the water-oil interface,in which the as-synthesized pristine CsPbBr3 NCs in toluene were treated in aqueous solutions of HX(X=Cl,Br,and I)and protonated oleylamine(OAm)acted as a carrier.The synthesized CsPbI3 NCs had an emission at 680 nm and even showed excellent colloidal stability after being stored for 32 d.The high efficiency and stability of the obtained CsPbX3 NCs were ascribed to the facts that:(ⅰ)the polar reagents were almost removed from the surface of NCs;(ⅱ)the defect-related nonradiative recombination was suppressed efficiently by surface passivation.
