本世纪的第一个十年见证了非传统稳定同位素地球化学的诞生和快速发展。该领域在过去十年的开创性工作可归纳为测试方法研发、分布范围调查、分馏过程与机理研究和应用潜力探索等方面。本文在历史回顾的基础上,以镁、铁、铜、锌、钼等同位素为例,从后三个方面对这一分支学科进行了简介。
The fast development of non-traditional stable isotope geochemistry in last decade is a prominent feature in geochemical field. The pioneering works may be summarized into four aspects: development of methodologies, in- vestigation on the extents of isotopic variations, study on the processes and mechanisms of isotope fractionation, and exploration of the potentials offered by these new isotope systems. Taking Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mo isotopes as cases, this paper made a brief introduction of non-traditional stable isotope geochemistry.
