High hafnium members of the zircon-hafnon series from the granite pegmatites of Zambézia, Mozambique
TLDR
A mineralogical nomenclature applicable to the natural binary isomorphous series ZrSiO4-HfSiO 4 is proposed in this article, where it is suggested that (Hf, Zr)SiO2 with more than 90 mol.-% hafnium component be called hafnon.Abstract:

The Composition of Zircon and Igneous and Metamorphic Petrogenesis
Paul W.O. Hoskin,Urs Schaltegger +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of zircon in crustal evolution studies is underscored by its predominant use in U-Th-Pb geochronology and investigations of the temporal evolution of both the crust and lithospheric mantle as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotope systems in zircon
Peter D. Kinny,Roland Maas +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the history of application of the Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd isotope systems in zircon can be found in this paper, where the authors also discuss the potential future use of the La-Ce system.

Extreme fractionation in rare-element granitic pegmatites; selected examples of data and mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a granitic pegmatite can be interpreted as crystallochemically conditioned Li-and-C-based feldspathoids, crystallizing along with (and after) the last generations of primary K- and Nalfeldspars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical and petrogenetic features of mineralization in rare-element granitic pegmatites in the light of current research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a taxonomic classification of rare-element pegmatites into three classes: LCT pegmatite with Li, Rb, Cs Be, Ga, Sn, Ta > Nb (B, P, F), Nb > Ta, Ti, Y, REE, Zr, Th, and U(F); and Nb>Ta, Nb, F, B(P).

U and Th Contents and Th/U Ratios of Zircon in Felsic and Mafic Magmatic Rocks: Improved Zircon-Melt Distribution Coefficients
TL;DR: In this paper, high-precision data on U and Th contents and Th/U ratios of zircon obtained using secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis have been collected from the literature.

Some Properties of Hafnium Oxide, Hafnium Silicate, Calcium Hafnate, and Hafnium Carbide
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of hafnium oxide was studied particularly in the temperature range 1500° to 18OO°C and its reactions with ZrO2, SiO2 and CaO were given in terms of lattice and other physical measurements, many of which were new.

Electron microprobe determination of Zr/Hf ratios in zircons from the Yeoval Diorite Complex, N.S.W., Australia
TL;DR: The physical properties of the zircons summarised here support other data which indicate that no genetic relation exists between the diorites and granites, whereas the zirconium and hafnium results are inconclusive as discussed by the authors.
