Abstract Despite Nb and Ta being considered as 'geochemical twins', most Ta mineral
deposits are associated with muscovite-bearing peraluminous granites and related …

The rare earth elements (REE) are critical raw materials for much of modern technology,
particularly renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicles that are vital for the energy …

Trace element partition coefficients between anorthitic plagioclase and basaltic melts (D)
have been determined experimentally at 0.6 GPa and 1350–1400° C in a lunar high-Ti …

Clinopyroxene is a key fractionating phase in alkaline magmatic systems, but its impact on
metal enrichment processes, and the formation of REE+ HFSE mineralisation in particular, is …

Zirconium, as a high field strength element, has been widely used to trace the differentiation
of terrestrial planets. It is also a major constituent in zircon, an important accessory mineral …

A REE-in-plagioclase-clinopyroxene thermometer has been developed on the basis of the
temperature-and composition-dependent rare-earth element (REE) partitioning between …

The geochemistry of rutile (TiO 2) has recently found its use in mineral exploration with some
studies reporting anomalous concentrations of Fe, W, V, Sn and Sb in rutile associated with …

Abstract Biotite–melt Nb and Ta partition coefficients (DNb and DTa) are crucial for
understanding Nb− Ta enrichment and fractionation in rare metal granites (RMGs) …

Abstract A mineralogical, major, LA-ICP-MS trace element mineral chemistry and bulk-rock
geochemical study of juvenile samples of the Mercato, Avellino, Pompeii and Pollena …

Apatite is widely utilized to reflect the character and petrogenesis of the parental felsic
magma. The compositional variation of apatite from mafic rocks and its applicability to the …
