Synchrotron-Based Three-Dimensional Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectro-Microtomography of Murchison Meteorite Grain.

چکیده
We demonstrate nondestructive, three-dimensional, microscopic, infrared (IR) spectral in-situ imaging of an extraterrestrial sample. Spatially resolved chemical composition and spatial correlations are investigated within a single 45 µm grain of the Murchison meteorite. Qualitative and quantitative investigation through this analytical technique can help elucidate the origin and evolution of meteoritic compounds as well as parent body processes without damaging or altering the investigated samples.

Infrared spectra of meteoritic SiC grains
We present here the first infrared spectra of meteoritic SiC grains. The mid-infrared transmission spectra of meteoritic SiC grains isolated from the Murchison meteorite were measured in the wavelength range 2.5–16.5 μm, in order to make available the optical properties of presolar SiC grains. These grains are most likely stellar condensates with an origin predominately in carbon stars. Measure...
متن کاملInfrared imaging spectroscopy with micron resolution of Sutters Mill meteorite grains
Synchrotron-based Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are applied with submicrometer spatial resolution to multiple grains of Sutter’s Mill meteorite, a regolith breccia with CM1 and CM2 lithologies. The Raman and infrared active functional groups reveal the nature and distribution of organic and mineral components and confirm that SM12 reached higher metamorphism tem...
متن کاملOrganics in the Murchison Meteorite Using Carbon XANES Spectroscopy
Introduction: The Murchison meteorite is a carbonaceous chondrite recovered in Australia in 1969. There have been a number of studies reporting organics in this meteorite ranging from simple amino acids [1], aldehydes and ketones [2], sugars [3], carboxylic acids [4] and aromatic hydrocarbons [5]. The techniques involved in these analyses require a substantial amount of work and in some cases t...
متن کاملThe micro-distribution of carbonaceous matter in the Murchison meteorite as investigated by Raman imaging.
The carbonaceous Murchison chondrite is one of the most studied meteorites. It is considered to be an astrobiology standard for detection of extraterrestrial organic matter. Considerable work has been done to resolve the elemental composition of this meteorite. Raman spectroscopy is a very suitable technique for non-destructive rapid in situ analyses to establish the spatial distribution of car...
متن کاملThe role of synchrotron radiation in advancing the frontiers of water- rock interactions
This overview paper discusses the important role that synchrotron-based techniques play in addressing frontiers in water-rock interactions. Over the past decade, with the advent of cutting-edge molecular scale in-situ analytical techniques, significant advances have occurred in determining the speciation and sorption/release mechanisms of metals, oxyanions, and other contaminants in soil and wa...
