Abstract
In this chapter we provide R codes for four different models previously developed for feldspars, apatites, and other materials exhibiting quantum tunneling phenomena. These are the ground state tunneling (GST) model, irradiation GST (IGST) model, excited state tunneling (EST) model, and thermally assisted tunneling (TA-EST) model. We demonstrate appropriate R functions that can simulate a wide variety of processes in feldspars, for both natural and laboratory irradiated samples. We present specialized codes for analyzing CW-IRSL and TL signals from freshly irradiated samples, as well as for simulating a variety of multiple stage experiments, involving thermal and optical pretreatments of samples in the laboratory. The chapter concludes with several R examples for the TA-EST model, which can be used for low temperature thermochronology studies.
