Abstract
The major and trace element compositions of several minerals and their surrounding groundmass in the volcanic rocks from the post-caldera Nea-Kameni island of the Santorini volcanic complex, Aegean Sea, have been determined, in-situ with particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and wavelength dispersive X-ray analysis with an electron microprobe (EMP). The lavas are typically calc-alkaline dacites. All samples are porphyritic with a phenocryst mineralogy dominated by plagioclase, augite, hyperstene and Ti-magnetite. The phenocrysts range in size from 200 μm to 2.5 mm. The PIXE and EMP analyses were done on sections polished with diamond paste
