Deformation-induced trace element redistribution in zircon revealed using atom probe tomography
Pb/U ratios and trace element distributions within zircon grains are used to determine a rock's age and geological processes, but the degree of element immobility and diffusion is uncertain. Here, the authors use atom probe tomography to reveal sub-micron scale mechanisms of trace element mobil...
