We have developed a new analytical technique for precise and accurate in situ Hf isotope
ratio measurements for zircons by means of laser ablation-multiple collector-inductively …

An Erratum has been published for this article in Mass Spectrometry Reviews 25: 831–832,
2006. Although the processes that govern iron isotope variations in nature are just …

The low‐Sr content (generally< 100 μg g− 1) in clinopyroxene from peridotite makes
accurate Sr isotopic determination by LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS a challenge. The effects of adding N2 …

This paper presents a brief overview of the current research issues in laser ablation for
chemical analysis, discusses several fundamental studies of laser ablation using time …

Atomic spectrometry remains one of the most powerful methods for the determination of the
elements and their compounds in a wide variety of types of samples and in widely differing …

Eoarchean rocks from the Isua region in southern West Greenland are known to exhibit
isotope anomalies of 182 W and 142 Nd. The excess 182 W in many rocks from the Isua …

An outstanding feature of mass spectrometry is the possibility of determining exact masses
and accurate abundances of stable and unstable isotopes with high precision. The …

The utilization of laser sampling technique in analytical spectrometry has long prevailed as it
does not require sample pretreatment, large samples or cause contamination. However, it …
