Fission-track dating is based on the analysis of tracks—linear damage trails—produced by
the spontaneous fission of 238U in a range of natural accessory minerals and glasses. The …

A reappraisal of the principle of equivalent time based on physicochemical methods

M Rufino, AL Lixandrão-Filho, S Guedes - Chemical Geology, 2023 - Elsevier
The main feature of the Fission-Track Thermochronology is its ability to infer the thermal

Arrhenius activation energy and transitivity in fission-track annealing equations

M Rufino, S Guedes - Chemical Geology, 2022 - Elsevier
Fission-track annealing models aim to extrapolate laboratory annealing kinetics to the
geological timescale for application to geological studies. Model trends empirically capture …

A novel comparison between the annealing kinetics of induced and spontaneous fission tracks in zircon

ASW Sales, ANC Dias, S Guedes, T Tagami… - Chemical …, 2023 - Elsevier
The annealing kinetics of fission tracks in zircon is dependent on the quantity of alpha recoil
damage accumulated. This effect must be better understood to improve zircon fission track …
