The unique, coherent chemical properties of the rare earth elements (REE) make them
highly suitable for geological studies into the history of rocks. Prior to the advent of reliable …

A Nd: YAG laser in fixed-Q (free-running) mode coupled to an inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometer was used to directly analyse pressed powder pellets of seven well …

Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been
recently developed as a technique for rapid analysis of solid materials with only a minimum …

The group of the rare earth elements (REEs) serves as valuable indicator of numerous
geological processes such as magma formation or fluid–rock interaction. The decay systems …

Previous laser ablation‐ICP‐MS bulk analyses have been confined to volcanic glasses and
