Iron Isotope Composition of Allende and Chainpur Chondrules: Effects of Equilibration and Thermal History
Introduction: We have studied the petrography and Fe-isotope composition of seven chondrules, four from the Allende (CV3) carbonaceous chondrite and three from the Chainpur (LL3.4) ordinary chondrite. Three textural-chemical chondrule types are represented within this sample set: (1) BO, (2) RP and (3) PO/POP. These textural differences allow us to exa mine the Fe-isotope composition in materia...
متن کاملMineral chemistry of the Tissint meteorite: Indications of two-stage crystallization in a closed system
The Tissint meteorite is a geochemically depleted, olivine-phyric shergottite. Olivine megacrysts contain 300–600 lm cores with uniform Mg# (~80 1) followed by concentric zones of Fe-enrichment toward the rims. We applied a number of tests to distinguish the relationship of these megacrysts to the host rock. Major and trace element compositions of the Mg-rich core in olivine are in equilibrium ...

Impurities are detrimental to silicon-based solar cells. A deeper understanding of their evolution, microscopic distributions, and oxidation states throughout the refining processes may enable the discovery of novel refining techniques. Using synchrotron-based microprobe techniques and bulk chemical analyses, we investigate Fe, Ti, and Ca starting from siliconand carbon bearing raw feedstock ma...
متن کاملFe/Mg-Fe/Mn SYSTEMATICS OF CHONDRULES AND THEIR HOST CHONDRITES: CLUES FOR THEIR
Introduction: Composition of chondrites on Fe-MgMn diagram show distinct patterns that result from nebular processes like volatility-controlled Mn-Mg fractionation, metal/silicate fractionation under reducing conditions and subsequent oxidation leading to variations in FeO/MgO ratio [1]. As chondrules are the major constituent of chondrites (except CI) their effect on bulk chemical compositions...
متن کاملAmoeboid Olivine Aggregates in CR Chondrites
Introduction: Amoeboid Olivine Aggregates (AOAs) are irregular-shaped, fine-grained aggregates of olivine and refractory minerals and are important components of C chondrites. The AOAs in CV chondrites have been interpreted to be primary nebular condensates [1] and therefore, can provide constraints on models for nebular condensation. AOAs are intermediate in composition, and may be a link, bet...
