Impact of air, laser pulse width and fluence on U–Pb dating of zircons by LA-ICPMS
JM Thompson, S Meffre… - Journal of Analytical Atomic …, 2018 - pubs.rsc.org
The accuracy of zircon U–Pb dating by LA-ICPMS is limited by matrix effects related to
differences in U–Pb fractionation between an unknown and the calibration standard. Zircon …
