Chemical abrasion applied to LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon geochronology [PDF]
Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most commonly used mineral in U-Pb geochronology. Although it has proven to be a robust chronometer, it can suffer from Pb-loss or elevated common Pb, both of which impede precision and accuracy of age determinations.

Modeling apparent Pb loss in zircon U–Pb geochronology [PDF]
The loss of radiogenic Pb from zircon is known to be a major factor that can cause inaccuracy in the U–Pb geochronological system; hence, there is a need to better characterize the distribution of Pb loss in natural samples.

U-Pb zircon age of the pegmatoid of the Muong Lat complex
Muong Lat granitoid complex located in Thanh Hoa province. It is composed of two mica granite, aplite and pegmatoid. Rock forming minerals include mainly K-feldspar, quartz biotite and muscovite. Crystallization age of pegmatite in Muong Lat body is determined by U-Pb zircon LA-ICP-MS method.
