Nanoscale gold clusters in arsenopyrite controlled by growth rate not concentration: Evidence from atom probe microscopy

Auriferous sulfides, most notably pyrite (FeS2) and arsenopyrite (FeAsS), are among the most important economic minerals on Earth because they can host large quantities of gold in many of the world's major gold deposits. Here we present the first atom probe study of gold distribution in arsenop...
