A mineral that forms under conditions as variable as diagenesis to deep subduction, melt
crystallization to low temperature alteration, and that retains information on time …

The ability of crystalline zircon (ZrSiO4) to incorporate and retain trace element and isotopic
information, due to sluggish diffusion, makes it an indispensable tool for geochemists and …

Accurate thermochronologic interpretation of zircon (U-Th)/He dates requires a realistic and
practically useful understanding of He diffusion kinetics in natural zircon, ideally across the …

This paper reports the results from a second characterisation of the 91500 zircon, including
data from electron probe microanalysis, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma‐mass …

The book is devoted to three types of laser-based spectroscopy of minerals, namely Laser-
Induced Time-Resolved Luminescence, Laser-Induced Breakdown spectroscopy and Gated …

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) map** is a
rapidly expanding field in the geosciences because of the wealth of spatial information it …

The widespread distribution of zircon in the continental crust, its tendency to concentrate
trace elements, particularly lanthanides and actinides, its use in age-dating, and its …

Jiama is the largest porphyry-skarn ore system in the Gangdese metallogenic belt, Tibet. It is
composed of porphyry Cu-Mo, Cu-polymetallic skarn, Cu-Pb-Zn manto, and distal vein Au …

Two distinct Late Neoarchean to Early Paleoproterozoic magmatic events are recognized at
the northern margin of the Eastern Block of the North China Craton based on interpretation …

Natural and synthetic (pure and doped) zircon (ZrSiO4) have been studied with a variety of
spectroscopic techniques. These techniques are based on different physical phenomena, for …
