Abstract:The lanthanoid elements, and in particular the heavier lanthanoids, are essential in the manufacture of advanced technologies due to their unique magnetic, spectral and luminescence properties. However, despite advances in the understanding the behaviour of lanthanoids within chemistry, physics and materials science, the behaviour of these elements within geological systems and in particular the processes by which they become concentrated to form economic ore deposits is still poorly understood.The southern Sw… Show more
