Geochemistry of Diamonds with LG-SIMS

SIMS analysis revealing the growth history and composition of diamonds.

CAMECA application note titled 'Microanalysis of Contaminants' with technical text and particle imaging graphics
 

Large-Geometry SIMS provides fine-scale isotopic and elemental data that yields information about the crystallization history of individual diamonds and the evolution of fluids during crystal growth. In the present case study, stable isotope and chemical analysis of diamond were performed at a microscopic scale for investigating intracrystalline variations in C- and N-isotope ratios and N-abundances.
