Nonbiological Fractionation of Iron Isotopes
Laboratory experiments demonstrate that iron isotopes can be chemically fractionated in the absence of biology. Isotopic variations comparable to those seen during microbially mediated reduction of ferrihydrite are observed. Fractionation may occur in aqueous solution during equilibration between inorganic iron complexes. These findings provide insight

Quantitating Iron Transport across the Mouse Placenta In Vivo using Nonradioactive Iron Isotopes. [PDF]
Iron is essential for maternal and fetal health during pregnancy, with approximately 1 g of iron needed in humans to sustain a healthy pregnancy. Fetal iron endowment is entirely dependent on iron transfer across the placenta, and perturbations of this ...

The evaluation of the fission mode and fragment yields of neutron-rich nuclei by the dynamical model [PDF]
Nucleosynthesis by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) produces elements heavier than iron via neutron-rich nuclides, observed in the solar system and stars with various metallicities.

Progress of Analytical Techniques for Stable Iron Isotopes
BACKGROUND Iron is the most abundant element on earth with variable valences. It is widely distributed in various minerals, rocks, fluids and organisms, and is involved in diagenesis, mineralization, hydrothermal activities and life activities. The study

Galactic cosmic ray effects on iron and nickel isotopes in iron meteorites [PDF]
We present model calculations for cosmogenic production rates in order to quantify the potential effects of spallation and neutron capture reactions on Fe and Ni isotopes in iron meteorites.

Although redox reactions are recognized to fractionate iron (Fe) isotopes, the dominant mechanisms controlling the Fe isotope fractionation and notably the role of organic matter (OM) are still debated. Here, we demonstrate how binding to organic ligands

Novel Insights into Marine Iron Biogeochemistry from Iron Isotopes
The micronutrient iron plays a major role in setting the magnitude and distribution of primary production across the global ocean. As such, an understanding of the sources, sinks, and internal cycling processes that drive the oceanic distribution of iron is key to unlocking iron's role in the global carbon cycle and climate, both today and in the ...
