Descriptions

We have examined the crystal structure and and composition of recrystallised zircons from the Jack Hills, Australia and the island of Harris & Lewis, Scotland. Data has been collected with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe micro analysis (EMPA) in order to resolve the mechanisms responsible for recrystallisation microstructures found in these zircons. The dataset is organised in folders per technique: cathodoluminescence (CL), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), backscatter diffraction (BSE), forescatter diffraction (FSE) and electron probe micro analysis (EMPA). The data is provided in 5 subfolders. Detailed information about the files in these subfolders as well as information on how the data is processed is given in the explanatory file readme.txt.
