Nanogeochronology of discordant zircon measured by atom probe microscopy of Pb-enriched dislocation loops

Isotopic discordance is a common feature in zircon that can lead to an erroneous age determination, and it is attributed to the mobilization and escape of radiogenic Pb during its post-crystallization geological evolution. The degree of isotopic discordance measured at analytical scales of ~10 µm of...
