2019, TectonophysicsCitation Excerpt :Although the final track length is primarily a function of the maximum temperature to which an apatite was subjected, the rate of annealing is also affected by individual grain compositions with the Cl/F ratio thought to exert the greatest influence such that Cl-rich apatites are more resistant to annealing (Barbarand et al., 2003; Burtner et al., 1994). Additionally, the crystallographic orientation of a track also affects its annealing rate, with tracks oriented parallel to the crystallographic c-axis being more resistant to annealing than those perpendiculars to the c-axis (Green and Durrani, 1977; Nadzri et al., 2017). Compositional effects and anisotropic annealing will be accounted for during the inverse thermal history modelling process (see Section 5.1 for more details).

2018, Gondwana ResearchCitation Excerpt :Information on the thermal history of apatite is stored in two archives: the etch pit areal density at an artificially polished internal surface and the length distribution of horizontal confined tracks (Lisker et al., 2009; Wagner and van den Haute, 1992). The temperature sensitive annealing of fission-tracks in apatite is kinetically constrained by two effects: the chemical composition of the apatite (i.e. Cl/F-ratio) and the crystallographic orientation of the tracks, as tracks parallel to the c-axis anneal slower than tracks orthogonal to the c-axis (Donelick et al., 1999; Green and Durrani, 1977). Whereas fluorine rich apatites totally anneal at 90–110 °C/10 Ma, chlorine rich apatites anneal between 110 °C/10 Ma to 150 °C/10 Ma.
