Micron- to atomic-scale investigation of rare earth elements in iron oxides

Micron- to atomic-scale investigation of rare earth elements in iron oxides

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) readily accommodate a wide range of minor and trace elements from across the periodic table at up to wt.% concentrations. This prompts the question of whether these common minerals can also host rare earth elements (lanthanides, Y and Sc; REEs)? If so, what i...
