- Astronomical calibration of the Paleocene time (2008, background): “The full error propagation in Ar/Ar geochronology (e.g. Renne et al., 1998; Min et al., 2000) gives an uncertainty of about 2.”
- Vertebrate Succession in the Ischigualasto Formation (2012, methodology): “Furin et al. (2006) recalibrated the age given by Rogers et al. (1993), adjusting for bias in the 40Ar/39Ar timescale that often results in ages ca. 1% too young (Min et al., 2000; Mundil et al., 2006; Kuiper et al., 2008).”
- for the Fish Canyon sanidine standard, and improved accuracy for 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology (2010, methodology): “Lacking any evidence for the existence of this decay mode, we follow Min et al. (2000) in excluding it from consideration.”
- Call for an improved set of decay constants for geochronological use (2001, methodology): “In the40Ar/39Ar method, which has largely supplanted K-Ar dating, only the total40K decay constant is needed provided the ages of 40Ar/39Ar standards (neutron fluence monitors) are known by means other than K-Ar dating (e.g., Renne and Min, 1998; Min et al., 2000a).”
- High-precision 40Ar/ 39Ar age constraints on the basal Lanqi Formation and its implications for the origin of angiosperm plants (2009, neutral): “Chen and Zhang (2004) reported an age of 165-159 Ma for the Daohugou beds by combining SHRIMP U/Pb and 40Ar/39Ardataalthoughtheknown~1%biasbetweenU/Pband 40Ar/ 39 Ar methods ( Min et al., 2000 ) was not accounted for.”
- U–Pb systematics of the McClure Mountain syenite: thermochronological constraints on the age of the 40Ar/39Ar standard MMhb (2006, methodology): “On the other hand, older volcanic rocks pose difficulty for 40Ar/39Ar dating because mineralogically pure sanidine is unstable at surface conditions and may not record the timing of eruption (e.g., Min et al. 2000).”
- Time scale controversy: Accurate orbital calibration of the early Paleogene (2012, methodology): “The accuracy of the widely used 40Ar/39Ar radioisotopic dating method mainly depends on the accurate age of the dating standards and exact knowledge of the radioactive decay constants [Min et al., 2000].”
