A Possible Radiation-Induced Transition from Monazite-(Ce) to Xenotime-(Y)

This study examines two pegmatitic monazite samples (2a and 4b, these numbers are related to a previous study) to determine their crystal chemistry and effects of internal radiation damage using synchrotron high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction and electron-probe micro-analysis. Both the huttonit...
