The method was applied to a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) to produce a grid map of multi-year mean δD values with lkm spatial resolution for Antarctica. The mean absolute deviation between observed and estimated data in the map is about 5.4‰, and the standard deviation is 9‰. The resulting δD pattern resembles well known characteristics such as the depletion of the heavy isotopes with increasing latitude and distance from coast line, but also reveals the complex topographic effects.展开更多

The CPs in chernozem-type soils of Russia are usually represented by crystallomorphic calcite whereas the non-segregated carbonates occurred at the same horizons-by collomorphic one. Those two morphotypes of calcite have the differences in elemental composition and isotopic composition of carbon and, hence, should have different origins-from true and colloidal solutions, respectively. The same differences including radiocarbon age have been revealed for pseudomycelium of the ABca horizon of the youngest paleosols as compared with the same CPs of other paleosols in the chronosequence studied. Our assumption is that it was succeeded in finding that the pseudomycelium right away after its precipitation from a colloidal solution migrated from the lower soil horizons to the surface horizons during the periods of climatic aridization. After a short time interval (not more than 25-50 years) collomorphic calcite in the pseudomicelium of the yongest paleosols mentioned above will likely become by "usual" acicular calcite.展开更多

In this study, several hydrological parameters, nutrients, ehlorophyll-a (ehl-a), suspended particulate matter (SPM) and Ra isotopes (223Ra, 224Ra and 226Ra) of surface waters of the Zhujiang (Pearl) River estuary (ZRE) were measured. This was done for both winter (December) and summer (July) seasons, to quantitatively understand the seasonal characteristics of river plume flow rate and trajectories, as well as the ecological response. The results show that Ra concentrations in summer were higher than in winter, especially Z24Ra (about 2-5 times higher). The spatial distribution of three Ra isotopes and relative Ra water ages indicated that river water mainly flushed out of ZRE through the western side in winter, where the water transport was about 5 days faster than in the eastern zone. In summer, diluted river water expended to the east side, resulting in fairly similar water ages for both sides of the river mouth. Although nutrients were higher during the summer season, lower chl-a concentrations indicated that reduced primary production might be caused by high SPM (low light penetration). The results obtained from this study will provide knowledge needed for effectively developing and managing the ZRE.展开更多

Groundwater samples were collected from 7 aquifers: the Holocene, upper Pleistocene, middle Pleistocene, lower Pleistocene, upper Pliocene, middle Pliocene and Miocene aquifers. The water isotopic compositions (82H and 8180) were determined to elucidate the origin and the interaction between surface water and groundwater studies. Transit time (age) of the groundwater samples was determined to explain the direction of groundwater flow. The dating techniques included 3H and ^14C isotopes measurement, followed by a correction for the initial ^14C-activity by the ^13C-composition (^13C) in TDIC (Total Dissolved Inorganic Carbon). Geochemical parameters of the groundwater samples were measured either directly in the field or in the laboratory. The results showed that the groundwater from the Holocene and upper Pleistocene aquifers was most recharged from the local meteorological and hydrological systems, including local precipitation, fiver and reservoirs. Thus, it has short transit time and its stable isotopic composition is spread around the local meteoric waterline and lines for rivers or reservoirs water. The groundwater in the deeper aquifers: middle and lower Pleistocene, and Neogene aquifers has old age up to 22.5 ka BP. Its water seems to be recharged from the areas with an altitude from 600 to 700 m higher to the Neogene deposit layer altitude. The groundwater in the SE SP (South-Eastern Southern Plain) region has a high quality. The water type is Na-Ca-Mg-HCO3 with low content of chloride and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). Calcite/dolomite and gypsum dissolution, organic matter decomposition and sequence of red-ox reactions proceeding through different electron acceptors sediment were controlled the chemistry of the groundwater in the study region.展开更多

The applicability of different geochemical parameters used as paleo-oxygenation indices are also compared. The preliminary results show that V/(V+Ni), Uauth (auth U), V/Cr, Ceanom and U/Th have a scattered variation range, but most samples plot within the suboxic-anoxic fields. The suboxic-anoxic environment was dominant during the deposition and formation of the two anoxic facies. These redox indicators show little correspondence to the δ98M0 values. The U/Mo ratio can be used as a potential proxy for the paleo-redox conditions due to the possibility that Mo is enriched relative to U at different redox gradients during early diagenesis. This evidence is more significant for the euxinicity condition and corresponds to positive δ98M0 (〉1.5%o) values with low U/Mo ratios. This evidence is likely related to the depositional conditions near the boundary between anoxic and euxinic environ- ments, which are characterised by low bioturbation or water circulation. Other samples reveal a wide scatter of U/Mo ratios and δ98M0 〈1.5%0. These results are likely due to punctuated improvements in oxygenation with intense bioturbation or water circulation, which led to the redistribution of trace element.展开更多

The main rock types are coarse-grained porphyritic alkalic-monzonite granite with minor fine-grained porphyritic monzogranite and granodiorite distributed in the eastern and southwestern regions. Here we report their zircon U-Pb ages and geo chemical data. The intrusive contact relations indicate that granodiorite was formed earlier than the alkalic-monzonite granite (105.9±1.3 Ma) and monzogranite (102.6±1.1 Ma). These suggest that the Queershan composite granitic pluton was formed through three-stage magmatic events. The alkalic-monzonite granite (105.9±1.3 Ma) and monzogranite (102.6±1.1 Ma) are characterized by high SiO2 (73.5%-77.7%), KzO+Na20 (6.9%-8.5%), Ga/AI ratios (2.6-3.4) and low A1203 (11.8%-14.5%), CaO (0.25%-1.5%), MgO (0.18%-0.69%), negative Ba, Sr and Eu anomalies, showing A-type granite affinities. The granodi- orite exhibits lower SiO2, P205 and K20+Na20 contents, but higher A1203, CaO and MgO contents than alkalic-monzonite granite and monzogranite, showing I-type granite affinity. 176Hff177Hf ratios of the alkalic-monzonite granite and the monzogranite are 0.282692-0.282749 and 0.282685-0.282765, respectively, and with similar cHf(t) values (-0.56 to 1.43 and -0.87 to 1.90 respectively). They also present similar T1-M2 model ages (1.04-1.22 and 1.07-1.2 Ga respectively), indicating they may be sourced from a similar rock source, mostly like Kangding Complex. The homogeneity of the Hf isotopic compositions and the absence of the MMEs demonstrate that little depleted mantle materials have contributed to the source. We propose that the Mesoproterozoic crust materials of the Yangtze Craton exist beneath the Yidun arc terrane and support it was a dismembered part of the Yangtze Craton. The A-type granites of Queershan composite granitic pluton are most probably related to the clo- sure of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethys ocean.展开更多

By considering the relative energy of the d proton boson to be different from that of the neutron boson, the low-lying energy spectrum is in good agreement with experimental results both qualitatively and quantitatively. In particular, the low-lying 0_2^+ states associated with the shape-coexistence phenomenon are reproduced quite well. The calculated key sensitive quantities of B(E2) transition branch ratios are fairly consistent with the experimental data except for R_4. The predicated deformation parameter is very similar for the ground states in ^(74)Kr and ^(76)Kr, showing good agreement with the experimental result,and the calculated deformation parameter for the second 0^+ state in ^(74)Kr is close to the experimental data. The calculated results of the triaxiality parameter indicated an almost purely prolate shape for the ground state of ^(76)Kr and a mostly prolate shape with a little triaxiality for the ground state of ^(74)Kr. The calculations also show an oblate triaxial shape for the second 0^+ state in ^(76)Kr and maximum triaxiality for the second 0^+ state in ^(74)Kr. These results confirm the importance of the triaxial deformation for the description of such shape coexistence.展开更多

Especially the effect of tensor force on the halo structure of 29Ne and 31Ne is discussed. To this end, the tensor contributions are considered to the energy density function and the single particle potential in SHF theory. For comparison, four Skyrme interactions are used: SLy5 and SGII without tensor force, and SLy5+T and SGII+ T with tensor force. The results indicate that the inclusion of tensor force shows a more pronounced halo structure for 31Ne.展开更多

In this work, thermodynamic properties of deuterium-tritium mixture in a wide range of temperatures and pressures have been predicted. Buckingham exp-6 potential has been utilized in calculations, based on statistical perturbation theory. The effects of various values of density, temperature and isotopic concentrations on pressure have been studied. Eventually, we have found out symmetrical effects of tritium concentration in deuterium-tritium mixtures.展开更多

The positive parity spectra of the ground state, quasi-β and quasi-γ bands are reproduced well. The staggering in ^124-130Xe are almost completely removed and the ? band agree well with the experiment data, even for the high-spin quasi-3 states. The key quantities of the collective structure evolution, including level energies, the B(E2) transition branching ratios, and the M1 excitations to 11^+ mixer-symmetry states are analyzed by comparing with the experimental data. The parameters for representation of the Oπν(6) and SUπν^*(3) features in isotopes are examined. Both experimental data and theoretical results show that the shape phase transition of ^124-134Xe isotopic chain is from the SUπν^* (3) (triaxial rotation) to the Uπν(5) (vibration motion) with a considerable constituent of the Oπν(6) symmetry (γ-unstable rotation), where the shape phase transition rapidly takes place between the neutron number N = 76 and N = 78.展开更多

Moreover, the genetic relationship between the condensates and their associated gases was also studied based on their geochemical com- positions and fluid inclusion data. Hetianhe condensates are characterized by high pristine/phytane (Pr/Ph) ratios, high relative abundances of Czs regular steranes, C26-C27 triaromatic steroids, and triaromatic dinosteranes, and relatively heavy stable car- bon isotopic compositions. They geochemically correlate well with the Cambrian source rocks, indicating that these conden- sates are derived from the Cambrian rocks. Based on several molecular maturity parameters, the condensates are recognized as being moderately to highly mature, which are too low in maturity to extensively crack into gases. The gases and condensates of the Hetianhe Field are derived from the same source rocks and the gases are from oil-cracking; however, clear evidence indi- cates that the gases were not cracked from their associated condensates and that the gas generation from oil-cracking did not occur in the present reservoirs. The liquid condensates produced from wellheads were likely dissolved in their associated gases underground and carried into the reservoirs by the gases.展开更多

The suboxic-anoxic environment was dominant during the deposition and formation of the two anoxic facies. These redox indicators show little correspondence to the δ98M0 values. The U/Mo ratio can be used as a potential proxy for the paleo-redox conditions due to the possibility that Mo is enriched relative to U at different redox gradients during early diagenesis. This evidence is more significant for the euxinicity condition and corresponds to positive δ98M0 (〉1.5%o) values with low U/Mo ratios. This evidence is likely related to the depositional conditions near the boundary between anoxic and euxinic environ- ments, which are characterised by low bioturbation or water circulation. Other samples reveal a wide scatter of U/Mo ratios and δ98M0 〈1.5%0. These results are likely due to punctuated improvements in oxygenation with intense bioturbation or water circulation, which led to the redistribution of trace element.

文摘The Queershan composite granitic pluton is located in the north of the late Paleozoic Yidun arc collision-orogenic belt, eastern Tibetan Plateau. The main rock types are coarse-grained porphyritic alkalic-monzonite granite with minor fine-grained porphyritic monzogranite and granodiorite distributed in the eastern and southwestern regions. Here we report their zircon U-Pb ages and geo chemical data. The intrusive contact relations indicate that granodiorite was formed earlier than the alkalic-monzonite granite (105.9±1.3 Ma) and monzogranite (102.6±1.1 Ma). These suggest that the Queershan composite granitic pluton was formed through three-stage magmatic events. The alkalic-monzonite granite (105.9±1.3 Ma) and monzogranite (102.6±1.1 Ma) are characterized by high SiO2 (73.5%-77.7%), KzO+Na20 (6.9%-8.5%), Ga/AI ratios (2.6-3.4) and low A1203 (11.8%-14.5%), CaO (0.25%-1.5%), MgO (0.18%-0.69%), negative Ba, Sr and Eu anomalies, showing A-type granite affinities. The granodi- orite exhibits lower SiO2, P205 and K20+Na20 contents, but higher A1203, CaO and MgO contents than alkalic-monzonite granite and monzogranite, showing I-type granite affinity. 176Hff177Hf ratios of the alkalic-monzonite granite and the monzogranite are 0.282692-0.282749 and 0.282685-0.282765, respectively, and with similar cHf(t) values (-0.56 to 1.43 and -0.87 to 1.90 respectively). They also present similar T1-M2 model ages (1.04-1.22 and 1.07-1.2 Ga respectively), indicating they may be sourced from a similar rock source, mostly like Kangding Complex. The homogeneity of the Hf isotopic compositions and the absence of the MMEs demonstrate that little depleted mantle materials have contributed to the source. We propose that the Mesoproterozoic crust materials of the Yangtze Craton exist beneath the Yidun arc terrane and support it was a dismembered part of the Yangtze Craton. The A-type granites of Queershan composite granitic pluton are most probably related to the clo- sure of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethys ocean.

文摘The shape deformation and shape coexistence in ^(74,76) Kr isotopes are investigated within the framework of the proton-neutron interacting boson model(IBM2). By considering the relative energy of the d proton boson to be different from that of the neutron boson, the low-lying energy spectrum is in good agreement with experimental results both qualitatively and quantitatively. In particular, the low-lying 0_2^+ states associated with the shape-coexistence phenomenon are reproduced quite well. The calculated key sensitive quantities of B(E2) transition branch ratios are fairly consistent with the experimental data except for R_4. The predicated deformation parameter is very similar for the ground states in ^(74)Kr and ^(76)Kr, showing good agreement with the experimental result,and the calculated deformation parameter for the second 0^+ state in ^(74)Kr is close to the experimental data. The calculated results of the triaxiality parameter indicated an almost purely prolate shape for the ground state of ^(76)Kr and a mostly prolate shape with a little triaxiality for the ground state of ^(74)Kr. The calculations also show an oblate triaxial shape for the second 0^+ state in ^(76)Kr and maximum triaxiality for the second 0^+ state in ^(74)Kr. These results confirm the importance of the triaxial deformation for the description of such shape coexistence.

文摘The structure of Ne isotopes has been investigated by using deformed Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF) method and BCS approximation. Especially the effect of tensor force on the halo structure of 29Ne and 31Ne is discussed. To this end, the tensor contributions are considered to the energy density function and the single particle potential in SHF theory. For comparison, four Skyrme interactions are used: SLy5 and SGII without tensor force, and SLy5+T and SGII+ T with tensor force. The results indicate that the inclusion of tensor force shows a more pronounced halo structure for 31Ne.
文摘Thermodynamic estimation is still too much requested for scientific applications in spite of great advances in simulation methods for efficient determination of phase equilibrium of multi-component systems. In this work, thermodynamic properties of deuterium-tritium mixture in a wide range of temperatures and pressures have been predicted. Buckingham exp-6 potential has been utilized in calculations, based on statistical perturbation theory. The effects of various values of density, temperature and isotopic concentrations on pressure have been studied. Eventually, we have found out symmetrical effects of tritium concentration in deuterium-tritium mixtures.

文摘We have investigated the structure evolution of the ^124-134Xe isotopic chain in the framework of the proton-neutron interacting model IBM2. The positive parity spectra of the ground state, quasi-β and quasi-γ bands are reproduced well. The staggering in ^124-130Xe are almost completely removed and the ? band agree well with the experiment data, even for the high-spin quasi-3 states. The key quantities of the collective structure evolution, including level energies, the B(E2) transition branching ratios, and the M1 excitations to 11^+ mixer-symmetry states are analyzed by comparing with the experimental data. The parameters for representation of the Oπν(6) and SUπν^*(3) features in isotopes are examined. Both experimental data and theoretical results show that the shape phase transition of ^124-134Xe isotopic chain is from the SUπν^* (3) (triaxial rotation) to the Uπν(5) (vibration motion) with a considerable constituent of the Oπν(6) symmetry (γ-unstable rotation), where the shape phase transition rapidly takes place between the neutron number N = 76 and N = 78.

文摘A detailed correlation of Hetianhe condensates versus typical source rocks from the Tarim Basin was established. Moreover, the genetic relationship between the condensates and their associated gases was also studied based on their geochemical com- positions and fluid inclusion data. Hetianhe condensates are characterized by high pristine/phytane (Pr/Ph) ratios, high relative abundances of Czs regular steranes, C26-C27 triaromatic steroids, and triaromatic dinosteranes, and relatively heavy stable car- bon isotopic compositions. They geochemically correlate well with the Cambrian source rocks, indicating that these conden- sates are derived from the Cambrian rocks. Based on several molecular maturity parameters, the condensates are recognized as being moderately to highly mature, which are too low in maturity to extensively crack into gases. The gases and condensates of the Hetianhe Field are derived from the same source rocks and the gases are from oil-cracking; however, clear evidence indi- cates that the gases were not cracked from their associated condensates and that the gas generation from oil-cracking did not occur in the present reservoirs. The liquid condensates produced from wellheads were likely dissolved in their associated gases underground and carried into the reservoirs by the gases.
