The aim is to develop high-precision methods for measuring iron isotopes at very low concentrations.
Utilized double spike method with collision/reaction cell technology in MC-ICP-MS.
Focused on measuring Fe isotopes at the nanogram level.
Investigated the role of Fe in material cycling and primary production.
Enhanced precision in measuring Fe isotopes was achieved.
Findings improve the understanding of Fe as a critical nutrient in ecosystem processes.
Abstract
Iron (Fe) is deeply involved in material cycling throughout the Earth system due to its ubiquity and complex chemical behavior. It acts as a limiting nutrient for primary production across...
