Abstract
The partition of hydrous species in radiation-damaged zircon was investigated using infrared spectra from a large range of samples with different degrees of radiation damage and a variety of geological conditions. The results of the present study showed uniformly a partition coefficient of K = 0.3. This indicates that OH is enriched in the damaged crystalline phase and not in the amorphous phase. The uniformity of the results for all samples indicates equilibrium rather than a frozen-in kinetic behaviour. It is possible that the enrichment of OH in the damaged crystalline phase of zircon indicates a catalytic effect of hydrogen during recrystallization events.
