Abstract.
Recombination of paramagnetic [AlO4 −/h+] centers in quartz from the Elbrus volcanic rocks and the Eldzhurtinsky intrusive rocks has been studied. Laboratory annealing experiments have shown that simple first- or second-order kinetics does not describe recombination correctly. It was assumed that there are three recombination processes in quartz and the decay of concentration of Al centers for isothermal annealing experiments was simulated by a sum of two exponential and one hyperbolic functions. Recombination parameters of these processes have been measured. The possible origin of different recombination mechanisms of Al centers in quartz and the significance of the obtained results for EPR dating are discussed.
