Popis: Direct oxygen isotope fractionation between cassiterite and calcite has been investigated experimentally at 15 kbar with temperature ranging from 800 to 1000°C. Combined with the quartz-calcite fractionation measured with the same technique ( Clayton et al., 1989 ), the calcite-cassiterite and quartz-cassiterite oxygen isotope fractionations can be expressed as: Δ CaCO 3 − SnO 2 = 4.14 × 10 6 T − 2 Δ SiO 2 − SnO 2 = 4.52 × 10 6 T − 2 at temperatures higher than 600°C. These calibrations are in good agreement with those obtained from heat capacity and X-ray resonant data. The theory of using X-ray resonant data to calculate the reduced partition function ratios of transition elements that have at least one Mossbauer-sensitive isotope is evaluated with the current experimental result.
