The nature of the Verwey transition in magnetite (Fe3O4) remains an unsolved puzzle after more than 60 years. Impurities and dopants present in magnetite can alter the Verwey transition temperature T-v as well as other physical characteristics of magnetite ...
The undoped and carbon-free olivine, LiFePO4 was bonded with 5% PVDF, and deposited on F-doped SnO2 support (FTO). The electrodes were modified by a monolayer of three different complexes: NaRu(4,4′-dicarboxylic acid-2,2′-bipyridine)(4,4′-dinonyl-2,2′-bipy ...
Calcite isocrinid ossicles from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) clays in Gnaszyn (central Poland) show perfectly preserved micro- and nanostructural details typical of diagenctically unaltered echinoderm skeleton. Stereom pores are filled with ferroan calc ...
Transient high pressures and temperatures generated during meteor or asteroid impacts induce mineral phase transformations that can mimic those occurring at depth within the silicate mantle of terrestrial planets. Olivine (alpha-(Mg,Fe)(2)SiO4), the primar ...
The carbon-free LiFePO4 (olivine) was modified by a monolayer coverage with [12-(2,5-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxy-phenoxy)-dodecyl]-phosphonic acid, coded DW. Thin film electrodes were bonded with 5% PVDF and deposited on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) support. The surface ...
The transformation of pyroxene to its high-pressure polymorph akimotoite (MgSiO3 ilmenite type structure) is documented in the shock-induced melt veins of the L6 Tenham chondrite. Four textural relationships between pyroxene and akimotoite are observed in ...
The formation of twinned dendrites (feathery grains) in binary Al-Zn, Al-Mg, Al-Cu and Al-Ni alloys has been studied in specimens directionally solidified under identical thermal conditions, i.e. G approximate to 100 K cm(-1), v approximate to 1 mm s(-1), ...
Magnetic anomalies observed by the Mars Global Surveyor mission are attributed to crustal remanence. SNC (Shergotty-Nakhla-Chassigny) meteorites are likely samples of the Martian crust and are amenable to mineralogical and magnetic measurements essential t ...
The magnetic and structural properties of epitaxial Fe films grown on Si(111) are investigated by polarized neutron re. ectometry (PNR) at room temperature. The influence of different types of interfaces, Fe/Si, Fe/FeSi2 and Au/Fe on the magnetic propertie ...
Peace River is one of the few shocked members of the L-chondrites clan that contains both high-pressure polymorphs of olivine, ringwoodite and wadsleyite, in diverse textures and settings in fragments entrained in shock-melt veins. Among these settings are ...
