Nickel isotopes in iron meteorites-nucleosynthetic anomalies in sulphides with no effects in metals and no trace of Fe-60
Iron-60 decays to 60Ni with a half-life of 1.49 Myrs such that Ni isotopic studies of iron meteorites have the potential to provide powerful new constraints on the energy budgets and time-scales of planetesimal melting, differentiation and core formation. We report high-resolution MC-ICPMS Ni isotop...
