11. Samples were polished into standard 30-μm thin sections and then thinned by Ar ion beam. Because of the unstable nature of the silicate perovskite, a low-tension Ar beam was used (2.5 keV anc 0.25 mA), and about 100 to 150 hours were required to prepare each thin foil for TEM observations. Details of the preparation techniques are described in (16).
