Research Abstract |
Recent development of microanalysis becomes applied to measure geochemical and chronological data from small particles and from grain boundary among minerals. Using these data, we can clarify evolution process of planetary materials at early solar system. Especially, micro-isotope analysis is the most powerful technique among them. Our earth science view is drastically changing by these techniques(Yurimoto, Kagaku 67, 1997). Among the micro-isotope measurement technique, secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS)is most impressive. However, present SIMS method is restricted to ion microprobe. Therefore, precise isotope-ratio imaging is difficult. In this study we develop new solid-state ion imager for SIMS.We demonstrate that the precision and spatial resolution of an ion microscope using SIMS coupled with a newly developed solid-state ion imager can be extended to two-dimensional isotope ratio imaging with permil precision. An isotopic map for oxygen clearly reveals the distribution of 4%-enrichment of 160 in spinel particles embedded in melilite from a Ca-Al-rich inclusion of a carbonaceous chondrite. This characterization technique thus provides the "eyes" to e small heterogeneity of isotope abundance in micro scale. It is likely to find broad application in earth, material, and life science research.
