Abstract
ESR (electron spin resonance) spectra of quartz samples irradiated with varying gamma (γ) dose were measured at different microwave power levels (0–200 mW). The microwave power saturation characteristics of Al and E′ centers were systematically investigated, and the mechanisms by which the power saturation characteristics affected equivalent dose (De) fitting results in ESR dating were revealed. The experimental results demonstrated that irradiation reduces the spin-lattice relaxation time, resulting in the inability to intrinsically characterize the number of spins in a series of aliquots when the ESR intensity exhibits significant saturation. The simulation results indicated that changes in spin-lattice relaxation characteristics can cause distortion in the dose response curve (DRC) at high power levels, leading to deviations in De values. A method that uses the slope of the approximate linear regime of the power saturation curve (PSC) as an intrinsic metric of ESR intensity is proposed; this method has been preliminarily validated in both experiments and simulations.
