Trace Element Analysis in Geochemical Systems by STEM/EDS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Until recently, measurement of trace elements with ppm concentrations has been inaccessible to STEM EDS. Development of fast SDD detectors with solid angles > 1/2 steradian and faster processors are now making such measurements a reality. STEM EDS measurements already have a low brehmsstrahlung background owing to thin samples. However, the combination of high beam currents required to attain sufficient x-ray counts and high beam energy (typically 60-300 kV) tends to damage samples. The detection limits are therefore determined by the count rates obtainable from a given beam current, while still maintaining sample integrity.

TRACE ELEMENT STUDY ON THE MIXED CARBONATE-PYROCLASTIC SEDIMENTS (LOWER MIOCENE, CENTRAL BASIN, IRAN)
Geochemical investigations have permitted the refinement of the environmental interpretation of the f-Member of the Qum formation, Central Basin, Iran, which has been established through detailed microfacies (MF) analysis. The analysis revealed that the f-Member carbonates consist of eight distinct microfacies designated by the letters A through H. On the basis of petrographic characteristi...

Basic rocks appear as cumulative hornblende gabbros in the Namen pluton, West of Sabzevar. One outcrop of these rocks contains magnetite ore patches. Although magnetite- bearing hornblende gabbro (MHG) and other hornblende gabbros (HG) have similar mineralogy, their trace element compositions are completely different. Trace element analysis of magnetite minerals by laser ablation inductively co...

Geochemical mapping programs carried out by the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) have generated large databases containing information on the concentrations of chemical elements in rocks, surface sediments and biogeochemical materials. Regional geochemical data being imprecise, multivariate, spatially auto-correlated and non-normally distributed pose specific problems to the choice of data ana...

Rare earth and trace element concentrations of mineral assemblages including amphibole, plagioclase, epidote group minerals (zoisite and clinozoisite) and relict clinopyroxenes from parental rock of epidote amphibolite from north of Urumia were obtained in situ by LA-ICP-MS analysis. The obtained data were used to study distribution of trace elements among metamorphic phases and relict clinopyr...
