Abstract

Presolar grains are nanometre-scale dust grains that exhibit large isotope excursions that illustrate the stellar isotopic input into the Solar System. Further, it is thought that they were differentially incorporated into meteorite parent bodies and thus can be used to trace planetary genetics and construction. In situ mapping of the distribution of presolar grains in the matrix of primitive meteorites therefore provides a key means to achieve this goal. However, in situ methods complicate isotopic measurements, such as those of Ti, due to their large isobaric interferences. To enable such measurements a prototype a collision cell, multicollector inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a pre-cell mass filter (CC-MC-ICPMS/MS) was developed and called Proteus. In this study we show that, when coupled to a laser ablation system, Proteus has the capability to measure, in situ, large Ti isotope excursions such as those expected in presolar grains (>200‰). Within the collision cell we introduced O2 gas and react Ti+ to TiO+ and perform the multi-collector isotope ratio measurement on the TiO+ species. The presence of isobaric interferences from Ca+, V+, and Cr+ are greatly reduced due to their lower ion reaction efficiency with O2 gas. The measurement of TiO+ using the pre-cell mass filter ensures that these ions are measured in a cleared region of the mass-spectrum where a Ni+, Cu+, and Zn+ ions would otherwise be present as interferences. Using this technique, complex rock samples with high Ca/Ti and Cr/Ti, for example BIR-1G, give the same mass-independent isotopic Ti ratios as essentially pure Ti-minerals, e.g. brookite. By reducing isobaric interferences from in situ measurements we can detect the large isotopic excursions in presolar grains without the added impediment of non-solar interference corrections for isobaric interferences.

利用LA-CC-MC-ICPMS/MS原位分析星尘中钛同位素比值。
太阳系前颗粒是纳米尺度的尘埃颗粒,它们表现出巨大的同位素偏移,说明了恒星同位素输入到太阳系。此外,人们认为它们被不同地合并到陨石母体中,因此可以用来追踪行星的遗传和构造。因此,对原始陨石基质中前太阳颗粒分布的原位测绘提供了实现这一目标的关键手段。然而,原位方法使同位素测量复杂化,如钛的测量,由于它们的大等压干扰。为了实现这样的测量,一个原型的碰撞细胞,多收集器电感耦合等离子体质谱计与细胞前质量过滤器(CC-MC-ICPMS/MS)被开发并称为Proteus。在这项研究中,我们表明,当与激光烧蚀系统耦合时,Proteus具有原位测量大Ti同位素偏移的能力,例如在太阳前颗粒(>200‰)中预期的偏移。在碰撞池中引入O2气体,使Ti+与TiO+发生反应,并对TiO+进行了多捕集器同位素比测量。由于Ca+、V+和Cr+离子与O2的反应效率较低,等压干扰的存在大大减少。使用细胞前质量过滤器测量TiO+确保这些离子在质谱的清除区域测量,否则Ni+, Cu+和Zn+离子会作为干扰存在。使用该技术,具有高Ca/Ti和Cr/Ti的复杂岩石样品,例如BIR-1G,具有与质量无关的同位素Ti比率,与本质上纯钛矿物(例如板岩)相同。通过减少原位测量的等压干扰,我们可以检测到太阳前颗粒中的大同位素偏移,而不需要对等压干扰进行非太阳干涉校正。
