Short communication: Synchrotron-based elemental mapping of single grains to investigate variable infrared-radiofluorescence emissions [Data set]

Description

This dataset accompanies a research paper in the journal Geochronology (https://doi.org/10.5194/gchron-6-77-2024). It contains the raw output of micro-XRF measurements carried out at the 5-ID SRX beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, on coarse K-feldspar grains. Additionally, the XRF intensity attributed to each element after spectral fitting is provided for elemental mapping. The dataset also includes the output from scanning electron microscope energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) measurements on coarse K-feldspar grains of two samples taken at Archéosciences Bordeaux, France.
