  • Publication number: 20240151704
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an in situ U—Pb dating method for calcite, including: cutting a calcite sample to prepare an epoxy resin sample target; placing the sample in a laser ablation sample chamber, and adjusting a position of the sample in an optical axis direction; conducting line scanning ablation on the sample target, and measuring ion signal intensity data of 43Ca, 88Sr, 139La, and 238U; conducting two-dimensional (2D) element imaging to obtain a 2D element content distribution map; according to the 2D element content distribution map, determining a high-U analysis target area, conducting point ablation on the high-U target area, and measuring ion signal intensity data of 206Pb, 207Pb, and 238U; and after the element signal data is obtained, calculating 207Pb/206Pb and 238U/206Pb fractionation coefficients, correcting ratios of an unknown sample, constructing a Tera-Wasserbug diagram, and calculating age data and an initial Pb isotope (207Pb/206Pb) composition of the calcite sample.

  • Patent number: 11664208
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for simultaneously measuring the value of forsterite and trace elements in olivine, comprising the following steps: Step S1: selecting samples, wherein the samples are olivine samples; Step S2: placing the samples in a sample chamber of LA-ICP-MS, and adjusting the position of the samples in the optical axis direction so that the laser beam is well focused; Step S3: optimizing the instrument to make the signal-to-noise ratio of 57Fe be the best; Step S4: adopting LA-ICP-MS peak hopping mode and receiving all the mass peaks of the samples by single electron multiplier (SEM). The present disclosure overcomes the disadvantages of long test cycle and high test cost in the prior art.
