Dry annealing of metamict zircon: A differential scanning calorimetry study

We report the results of a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) study of the annealing of a metamict Sri Lankan zircon. Raman measurements on most chips of the powdered zircon starting material, Sri Lankan zircon (WZ19), showed no evidence of a crystalline structure, whereas a few chips retained...
