Abstract
The halogen Cl is one of the sensitive indicators for the origin of ore-forming fluids. However, accurate analysis of trace Cl in minerals or glasses remains a challenge. Here, we establish an electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) method for determination of Cl in sphalerite by investigating the key parameters such as accelerating voltage, analytical crystals, beam current, peak counting time, primary calibration standards, and secondary fluorescence effects. Detection limit (3 sigma) for Cl can be lowered to 14 ppm. The proposed method was used to analyze Cl and other minor/trace elements such as Fe and Ge in sphalerite from the Shanshulin Mississippi Valley type Zn-Pb deposit in the southwestern China. EPMA mapping and profile analyses show that Cl is heterogenous (from below detection limit to 869 ppm) in sphalerite with zoning patterns. Random point analyses show the highest Cl content in the studied sphalerite is 2730 ppm. No correlation of Cl with sphalerite color, Fe, Ge, S, and Zn indicates that Cl behaves differently from other elements. Considering detectable and various Cl contents in sphalerite at the grain scale, between samples, and between deposits, Cl together with other elements can be used to constrain the ore genesis.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
