Atom probe tomography (APT) provides three-dimensional compositional mapping with sub-
nanometre resolution. The sensitivity of APT is in the range of parts per million for all …

Atom probe tomography (APT) is an analytical technique that provides quantitative three‐
dimensional elemental and isotopic analyses at sub‐nanometre resolution across the whole …

Carlin-type gold deposits are one of the most important gold mineralization styles in the
world. Despite their economic importance and the large volume of work that has been …

We present in situ LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of xenotime and monazite in assemblages with
native gold and Au (Ag) tellurides from the Xiaoqinling lode gold district in central China …

The Pb isotopic composition of rocks is widely used to constrain the sources and mobility of
melts and hydrothermal fluids in the Earth's crust. In many cases, the Pb isotopic …

This study focuses on the low-temperature mineralogical response of xenotime, a phosphate
mineral routinely used as a geochronometer, to fluid-assisted alteration. The studied …

Monazite, a common accessory rare-earth orthophosphate mineral in the continental crust
widely used in U-Pb geochronology, holds promise for (U-Th)/He thermochronology and for …

U-Th-Pb petrochronology is based on the incontrovertible fact that the diffusion of radiogenic
Pb is negligibly small relative to retrograde reaction rates. Multi-element maps demonstrate …

Understanding the mechanisms of parent-daughter isotopic mobility at the nanoscale is key
to rigorous interpretation of U–Th–Pb data and associated dating. Until now, all nanoscale …

Element mobility is a critical component in all geological processes and understanding the
mechanisms responsible for element mobility in minerals is a fundamental requirement for …
