Applications of mercury stable isotopes for tracing volcanism in the geologic record
Mercury (Hg) enrichments in ancient sediments have been used as a proxy of volcanism, especially large igneous province (LIP) eruptions. However,...

Fluid inclusion and H–O-S-Pb isotope constraints on the origin of carbonate-hosted Hg-Sb mineralization at Gongguan, central China
The Gongguan deposit in southern Qinling district, central China, is characterized by a Hg and Sb metal association, with proven reserves of 7,543 t...

A Paleozoic mercury mineralisation event in South China: In situ U-Pb dating and chemical compositions of calcite from the Jianyan Hg deposit
The ages of hydrothermal Hg deposits are difficult to constrain because of the lack of suitable minerals for dating. The South China low-temperature...

Nuclear volume effects in kinetic isotope fractionation: A case study of mercury oxidation by chlorine species
It is well-known that the equilibrium isotope fractionation of mercury (Hg) includes classical mass-dependent fractionations (MDFs) and nuclear...
