Boron Isotope Fractionation Among Vapor–Liquids–Solids–Melts: Experiments and Atomistic Modeling

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Boron Isotopes

Part of the book series: Advances in Isotope Geochemistry ((ADISOTOPE))

Abstract

A quantitative understanding of the principle factors that govern their geochemical behavior is required to employ boron and its isotopes as geochemical tracers of any vapor-, liquid- or melt-mediated process in the Earth’s interior. Feedback between experiments and computational predictions are required to gain insight into the processes driving isotope partitioning. This chapter comprises methods and results of selected experimental studies and first principles atomistic modeling techniques aimed at determining and predicting temperature-, pressure-, and pH-dependent B-isotope fractionation among B-bearing geomaterials.
