Abstract
Stable isotopes in crystalline materials under certain conditions (e.g., at high pressures in interior of planets) can form ordered (in space) or correlated distributions. There are several experimental methods that can be upgraded for the search of the positional isotopic correlations (IC) and isotopic superlattices. Differences in the degree of IC in natural crystallites, if detected, could be interpreted as indicators of their formation history. Therefore, a search for IC could open a new application of isotopic geology complementary to the detection of variations of isotopic abundances in minerals, rocks and meteorites.
