Oscillatory zoning of minerals as a fingerprint of impurity-mediated growth
Abstract We propose a kinetic mathematical model of the oscillatory compositional zoning profile recorded in minerals based on the crystal growth suppression induced by impurities. Notably, the presence of a small amount of impurities significantly inhibits crystal growth, and a growth inhibition me...
