Study of Magma Sources, Mantle Structure and the Differentiation of the Earth from Variations of ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd in Igneous Rocks

Study of Magma Sources, Mantle Structure and the Differentiation of the Earth from Variations of ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd in Igneous Rocks

<p>The decay of 147Sm to 143Nd allows 143Nd/144Nd to be used to trace Sm/Nd fractionation in long time-scale geologic processes. Since Sm/Nd is a sensitive indicator of many aspects of the overall chemistry of rocks, the Sm-Nd system provides an excellent tool for the study of the chemical evo...
