Micrometer-scale cavities in fibrous and cloudy diamonds - a glance into diamond dissolution events (2007)
Journal Article
Klein-BenDavid, O., Wirth, R., & Navon, O. (2007). Micrometer-scale cavities in fibrous and cloudy diamonds - a glance into diamond dissolution events. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 264(1-2), 89-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2007.09.004

Micrometer sized internal cavities in diamonds preserve evidence of diamond dissolution events. Combining the methods of focused ion beam (FIB) sample preparation and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) enables these features to be studied in deta...

TEM imaging and analysis of microinclusions in diamonds: a close look at diamond-growing fluids (2006)
Journal Article
Klein-BenDavid, O., Wirth, R., & Navon, O. (2006). TEM imaging and analysis of microinclusions in diamonds: a close look at diamond-growing fluids. American Mineralogist, 91(2-3), 353-365. https://doi.org/10.2138/am.2006.1864

Fluid-bearing microinclusions in diamonds (<1 μm) provide a unique source of information on the diamond-forming medium. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation of such microinclusions enables the detailed study of their size, external ha...

The evolution of marine evaporitic brines in inland basins: The Jordan-Dead Sea Rift valley (2004)
Journal Article
Klein-BenDavid, O., Sass, E., & Katz, A. (2004). The evolution of marine evaporitic brines in inland basins: The Jordan-Dead Sea Rift valley. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 68(8), 1763-1775. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2003.08.002

Marine-evaporitic brines frequently display Na, Cl and Br concentrations that significantly deviate from seawater evaporation paths, yielding markedly conflicting degrees of evaporation calculated for a specific brine. Here we present 493 new and 33... Read More about The evolution of marine evaporitic brines in inland basins: The Jordan-Dead Sea Rift valley.
