ON ORIGIN OF Xe-HL IN METEORITIC NANODIAMONDS
Xenon in the Presolar Diamonds: The finest grains of nanodiamonds identified in the carbonaceous and nonequilibrium ordinary chondrites are the most abundant relic grains, for which, as well as for the silicon carbide and graphite, the presolar origin is assumed [1].They could be apparently formed by condensation in cool stellar atmospheres or in the extreme PT-conditions of reprocessing the ma...
متن کاملAtom-probe analyses of nanodiamonds from Allende
Atom-probe tomography (APT) is currently the only analytical technique that, due to its spatial resolution and detection efficiency, has the potential to measure the carbon isotope ratios of individual nanodiamonds. We describe three different sample preparation protocols that we developed for the APT analysis of meteoritic nanodiamonds at sub-nm resolution and present carbon isotope peak ratio...
متن کاملComputer simulation techniques to design Xenon-124 solid target for iodine-123 production
Background: Iodine-123 (123I) is regarded as one of the best radionuclides for in vivo medical studies using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) due to its suitable physical property. Materials and Methods: To design a new system in order to replace cryogenically solidified xenon target by the gas one, some necessary calculations are needed to be done such as finding the excitati...
متن کاملXenon Isotopes in Nanodiamonds and Other Presolar Grains
Introduction: Nanodiamonds isolated from primitive meteorites contain isotopically ‘normal’ Xe-P3 and components enriched in heavy and light isotopes Xe-HL, exotic Xe-P6. Excesses of Xe from I decay are also observed [1]. We discuss these in the light of data obtained from size-separated Efremovka nanodiamond samples produced at the Vernadsky Institute, Moscow [2]. Results: Excess Xe is present...
متن کاملThe xenon record of extinct radioactivities in the Earth.
Analyses of xenon from well gas rich in carbon dioxide reveal a large excess of radiogenic xenon-129 from the decay of extinct iodine-129. Smaller excesses observed in the heavy xenon isotopes are from fission. These results place narrow limits on any age difference between the earth and the oldest meteorites. The occurrence of excess radiogenic xenon-129 in well gas also suggests that any quan...
