In situ measurements of calcium isotopes by ion microprobe in carbonates and application to foraminifera
An analytical procedure has been developed for the in situ measurement of calcium isotope composition of carbonates with a spatial resolution of 15–20 μm on a Caméca IMS 1270 ion microprobe. By using two Faraday cup detectors, the Ca and Ca can be measured simultaneously, improving the internal reproducibility. Instrumental mass fractionation (IMF) of calcium isotopes was observed to be indepen...
متن کاملElectron-microprobe age mapping of monazite
High resolution X-ray maps of Th, U, Pb, and Y in monazite can be used to construct age maps, which reveal the continuous spatial distribution of ages in a single grain of monazite. The age mapping algorithm and three examples are presented to illustrate the capabilities and applications of this mapping technique, the insights it can provide into monazite geochronology in general, and its limit...
متن کاملEvaluation of Uncertainties in Dating of Monazite by Electron Microprobe
Over the last decades, determination of ages in monazite using Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) has progressed to the point that it is now considered as a routine procedure within several laboratories worldwide [1,2]. Nevertheless, the typical age errors of individual electron probe spots reported in the literature are an order of magnitude larger than attainable by Secondary Ion Mass Spectr...
متن کاملSpectroscopic and Microscopic Characterization of Contaminant Uptake and Retention by Carbonates in Soils and Vadose Zone Sediments
Historical releases and subsequent migration of toxic metals and radionuclides within the soil and vadose zone at various sites over the DOE Complex pose serious technological challenges, including the design and implementation of cost-effective remediation and/or monitoring strategies. This requires knowledge of the fundamental processes that govern contaminant mobility and reactivity with the...
متن کاملElectron Microprobe Analysis Lecture Notes
The electron microprobe provides a complete micrometer-scale quantitative chemical analysis of inorganic solids. The method is nondestructive and utilizes characteristic Xrays excited by an electron beam incident on a flat surface of the sample. This course provides an introduction to the theory of X-ray microanalysis through wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometry (WDS and EDS), ZAF matr...
