“…Meanwhile, studies focused on the effects of sedimentary transport processes and the characterization of source materials on the QLS have been developed. Aiming to discover and understand the relationships between QLS and the petrological background of quartz, studies have been undertaken in the following areas: the age of intrusive granite (Rink, 1994), crystallization temperature (Sawakuchi et al, 2011b), inclusions (Chauhan and Singhvi, 2019), thermal and sedimentary history (Preusser et al, 2006;Pietsch et al, 2008;Zheng et al, 2009;Fitzsimmons, 2011;Sawakuchi et al, 2011a;Lü and Sun, 2017;Sawakuchi et al, 2018;Chang and Zhou, 2019;Nian et al, 2019;Li and Zhou, 2020;Sawakuchi et al, 2020;Bartyik et al, 2021;del Río et al, 2021). These exploratory efforts have enhanced our understanding of QLS and expanded its application scenarios.…”
