鉱物のESR顕微鏡観察:不対電子分布画像

抄録

The spatial distribution of paramagnetic and impurities, point defects, radiation effects and orientation of crystal axes is shown in some crystals of zircon, barite, aragonite, apatite, synthetic diamond, and anorthite to demonstrate the usefulness of a microwave scanning ESR microscope which we have recently developed. The feature and principle of this new imaging method is presented with some applications to mineral sciences. New information which can not be obtained with other imaging methods such as EPMA, SIMS, and luminescence becomes available with this ESR microscope. A systematic application of an ESR microscope to mineral sciences is strongly hoped.
