サブミクロンスケール局所同位体分析に向けたレーザーポストイオン化SNMSの開発
Isotopic compositions of various meteorites provide us an important clue to decipher the origin and evolution of the solar system. To accomplish a sub-micron scale resolution analysis (< 1 μm), we have been developing a Secondary Neutrals Mass Spectrometer (SNMS) with a high-power femto-second laser which post-ionizes neutrals sputtered by a focused ion beam. From the measurement of terrestrial zircons containing 100 ppm uranium toward the application to in-situ U-Pb chronology, U and oxidized U ions could be detected with a sputtered area of 1 μm in diameter. The high spatial resolution enabled to determine isotopic ratios of both major and trace elements in single SiC presolar grains.
