Fundamental Parameter 법에 의한 만장굴용암 쌍자석주의 형광X선분포

Cheju Island, which was formed by volcanic activity, is an oval in its shape with the major axis 80km and the minor axis of 40km. The island holds in its heart Mt. Hanala rising 1,950m above the sea. Petrological study of this volcanic island has been made actively by Sang-Man Lee, Chong-Kwang Won and Moon-Won Li. The chronological measurements of the island by Chong-Kwan Won and Moon-Won Lee showed that it is composed of Sanbangsan trachytes and Backlokdam trachytes(25,000 year ago). These reports are based on the chemical analysis and the rediometric chronological measurements on the ground. However, there has been no reports about the inside of caves. We made an (composition) analysis of the inside of Manjang Cave by the fundamental parameter method in X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The fundamental parameter method in X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is nondestructive analysis. and it enables us to make the values processed by a computer. The results obtained by this methods are as follows: SiO$_2$(49％), $Al_2$O$_3$(17％), Fe$_2$O$_3$(13％), CaO(8.1％), MgO(5.5％), Na2O(3.6％), TiO$_2$(2.1％), $K_2$O(0.86％), P$_2$O$_{5}$(0.28％), and MnO(0.20％) respectively. The data obtained by the fundamental parameter method in X-ray fluorescene was compared with the data provided by Chong-Kwan Won and Moon-Won Lee. Our measurement was made by K-Ar-method in cooperation with T. ITAYA. The samples are of 30,000-420,000 years ago. The composition of the values of our underground analysis with the existing values obtained by the analyses on the ground produced new data about Cehju volcanic island.d.
