The effects of deformation-induced microstructures on intragrain Ar(40)/Ar(39) ages in potassium feldspar

A combination of forescatter scanning electron microscopy and both ultra-violet (UV) laser and cycle stepped-heating 40Ar/39Ar dating techniques have been applied to a single deformed grain of potassium feldspar to investigate the relationship between microstructure and 40Ar/39Ar isotope systematics...
