  abstract  = {A confocal set-up is presented that improves micro-XRF and XAFS experiment with high-pressure e diamond-anvil cells (DACs) In this experiment a probing volume is defined by the focus of the incoming synchrotron radiation beam and that of a polycapillary X-ray half-lens with a very long working distance, which is placed in front of the fluorescence detector This set-up enhances the quality of the fluorescence and XAFS spectra, and thus the sensitivity for detecting elements at low concentrations. It efficiently suppresses signal from outside the sample chamber, which stems from elastic and inelastic scattering of the incoming beam by the diamond anvils as well as from excitation of fluorescence from the body of the DAC},

  abstract  = {Rubidium and strontium partitioning experiments between haplogranitic melts and aqueous fluids (water or 1.16- 3.56 m (NaCl + KCl) +/- HCl) were conducted at 750-950 degrees C and 0.2-1.4 GPa to investigate the effects of melt and fluid composition, pressure, and temperature. In addition, we studied if the applied technique (rapid and slow quench, and in-situ determination of trace element concentration in the fluid) has a bearing on the obtained data. There is good agreement of the data from different techniques for chloridic solutions, whereas back reactions between fluid and Melt upon cooling have a significant effect on results from the experiments with water. The Rb fluid-melt partition coefficient shows no recognizable dependence on melt composition and temperature. For chloridic Solutions, it is similar to 0.4, independent of pressure. In experiments with water, it is one to two orders of magnitude lower and increases with pressure. The strontium fluid-melt partition coefficient does not depend on temperature. It increases slightly with pressure in Cl free experiments. In chloridic fluids, there is a sharp increase in the Sr partition coefficient with the alumina saturation index (ASI) from 0.003 at an ASI of 0.8 to a maximum of 0.3 at an ASI of 1.05. At higher ASI, it decreases slightly to 0.2 at an ASI of 1.6. It is one to two orders of magnitude higher in chloridic fluids compared to those found in H2O experiments. The Rb/Sr ratio in non-chloridic solutions in equilibrium with metaluminous melts increases with pressure, whereas the Rb/Sr ratio in chloridic fluids is independent of pressure and decreases with fluid salinity. The obtained fluid-melt partition coefficients are in good agreement with data from natural cogenetic fluid and melt inclusions. Numerical modeling shows that although the Rb/Sr ratio in the residual melt is particularly sensitive to the degree of fractional crystallization, exsolution of a fluid phase, and associated fluid-melt partitioning is not a significant factor controlling Rb and Sr concentrations in the residual melt during crystallization of most granitoids.},

  abstract  = {Barium, lanthanum, ytterbium, and yttrium partitioning experiments between fluid-saturated haplogranitic melts and aqueous solutions were conducted at 750 to 950 degrees C and 0.2 to 1 GPa to investigate the effects of melt and fluid composition, pressure, and temperature. Partition coefficients were determined using different experimental methods. On one hand quenched experiments were performed, and on the other hand, trace element contents in the aqueous fluid were determined directly using a hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell and synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence microanalysis of K-lines. The latter required a high excitation energy of 50 key due to the high energies necessary to excite the K-lines of the studied elements. The data from these two techniques showed good agreement for chloridic solutions, whereas quenching had a significant effect on results of the experiments with only water in the case of Ba. In Cl-free experiments, lanthanum and yttrium, trace element contents were even below detection limit in the quenched fluids, whereas small concentrations were detected in comparable in-situ experiments. This distinct difference is likely due to back reactions between fluid and melt upon cooling. The partitioning data of all elements show no dependence on the temperature and only small dependence on pressure. In contrast, the partitioning is strongly influenced by the composition of the starting fluid and melt. For chloridic fluids, there was a sharp increase in the Ba, La, Y and Yb partition coefficients with the alumina saturation index (ASI). The Ba partition coefficient increased from 0.002 at an ASI of 0.8 to 0.55 at an ASI of 1.07. At higher ASI, it decreased slightly to 0.2 at an ASI of similar to 1.3. Likewise, it was one to two orders of magnitude higher in chloridic fluids compared to those found in H2O experiments. Fluid-melt partition coefficients of La and Y increased from 0.002 at an ASI of similar to 0.8 to similar to 0.1 at an ASI of 1.2. In the same ASI range, the Yb partition coefficient increased to a maximum value of 0.02. Even at high salinities all elements fractionate into the melt. The compositional dependence of the partitioning data imply that both melt composition and fluid composition have a strong influence on trace element behavior and that complexation of Ba. REE and Y tin the fluid is not only controlled by the presence of Cl- in the fluid. Instead, interaction of these elements with major melt components dissolved in the fluid is very likely.},
