(REE,Y) phosphates were synthesized in a 1 atm furnace by ß ux-growth methods involving Pb-free ß uxes. Microcrystalline (REE,Y) phosphate was precipitated from a solution of (REE,Y) chlorides or nitrates plus ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and mixed with a M2CO3 (M = Li or Na)-MoO3 ß ux (75:25:2 molar ratio M2CO3:MoO3:REEPO4). Crystal growth was achieved over the temperature range 1350–870 °C,...

We measured the abundances of Sr and rare earth elements (REEs) in the matrices of five CV3 carbonaceous chondrites: Meteorite Hills (MET) 00430, MET 01070, La Paz ice field (LAP) 02206, Asuka (A) 881317 and Roberts Massif (RBT) 04143. In the MET 00430 and MET 01074 matrices, the Sr/CI and light REE (LREE, La–Nd)/CI ratios positively correlate with the amounts of Ca-rich secondary minerals, whi...

Marine microbialites serve as robust seawater rare earth element and yttrium (REE+Y) proxies through many intervals of Earth history, but questions remain about the partitioning of REEs into different coeval carbonate phases, potential syn-depositional contaminants and elemental redistribution during diagenesis. Microbial carbonates, cements and background sediments were analysed for stable iso...

Allanite is present in most samples of the tonalitic Bell Island Pluton, with an average mode near 0.05 wt.%. Allanite occurs as cores in igneous epidote-clinozoisite and exhibits characteristic and consistent zoning patterns. REE-rich cores (All40–70) grade out towards epidote-clinozoisite with REE below electron microprobe detection limits. La, Ce and Pr contents are highest in the REE-rich c...

Boninites are unusual island arc volcanic rocks with high MgO (>9%), high Si0 2 (>55%) contents, and exceptionally low TiO 2 (<0.4%) contents. High MgO contents, MgO/(MgO + EFeO), Ni, Cr and Co contents indicate that boninites have equilibrated with mantle peridotite. Experimental petrologic studies and high Cr/(Cr + Al) in spinels in boninites suggest that they have separated from extremely re...

We obtain the left-right entanglement entropy (LREE) for a D$p$-brane with tangential motion in presence of $U(1)$ gauge potential, Kalb-Ramond field and an open string tachyon field. Thus, at first we extract R\'{e}nyi then by taking special limit it acquire entropy. shall investigate behavior LREE under condensation phenomenon. observe that deformation LREE, through this process, reveals coll...

3870 Ma to 3760 Ma metadiorites and tonalites, and older mafic inclusions contained within these rocks from southern West Greenland, have a range of initial end values from + 4.5 to --4.5. The extremely positive initial values determined for nine of the fourteen early Archean samples demonstra te that they were derived from a LREE depleted mantle reservoir which had an end value of ~ + 4 prior ...
