High Sodium Solubility in Magnesiowüstite in Iron-Rich Deep Lower Mantle

Marco Cantoni, James Badro, Susannah McGregor Dorfman, Farhang Nabiei

(Mg,Fe)O ferropericlase-magnesiow & uuml;stite has been proposed to host the majority of Earth's sodium, but the mechanism and capacity for incorporating the alkali cation remain unclear. In this work, experiments in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell and ...

Investigation of Biogenic Passivating Layers on Corroded Iron

Julien Maillard

This study evaluates mechanisms of biogenic mineral formation induced by bacterial iron reduction for the stabilization of corroded iron. As an example, the Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain TCE1 was employed to treat corroded coupons presenting urban na ...

Dissimilarities in polyphosphate accumulation between Shewanella loihica and the model bacterium Shewanella oneidensis

Julien Maillard

Polyphosphate plays an important role in the physiological adaptation of bacteria during growth and development, as well as in their response to nutritional and environmental stresses. Moreover, polyphosphate accumulation is of environmental relevance and ...

Variations in elastic and electrical properties of crustal rocks with varying degree of microfracturation

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Lucas Xan Pimienta, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza

This work aims at investigating the effect of varying degrees of microfracturing on the joint elastic and electrical transport properties of rocks. Different crustal rocks were subjected to Thermal Treatment, expected to induce microfracturing, up to diffe ...

Adsorption of HPDX and CaHPOx (x=1, ...,4) molecules on anatase TiO2 (001) surfaces

Michel Posternak

perform DFT calculations within the COSMO framework to study the adsorption properties of the CaHPOx (x = 1,...,4) phosphate family, and of the related HPOx acids, on a paradigmatic anatase (001) surface. Of particular interest is CaHPO4, a precursor of hy ...

Contaminant loading and competitive access of Pb, Zn and Mn(III) to vacancy sites in biogenic MnO2

Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Jasquelin Peña

The scavenging properties of MnO2 are largely attributed to sorption on layer vacancy sites. However, co-occurrence of Mn(II, III) with MnO2 can change mineral reactivity by modifying its Mn(III) content or number of free vacancy sites. These processes are ...

Global impact of mineral dust on cloud droplet number concentration

Athanasios Nenes

The importance of wind-blown mineral dust for cloud droplet formation is studied by considering (i) the adsorption of water on the surface of insoluble particles, (ii) particle coating by soluble material (atmospheric aging) which augments cloud condensati ...

From 2D to 3D Characterization of Materials Subjected to Extreme Pressure and Temperature Conditions

Farhang Nabiei

Planetesimal were the first planetary objects to form in the solar system, which later grew to make the proto-planets. Most of these bodies were differentiated as a result of internal heating. Several differentiated bodies have, then, been accreted followi ...

Influence of crustal dust and sea spray supermicron particle concentrations and acidity on inorganic NO3- aerosol during the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study

Satoshi Takahama, Robin Lewis Modini

Inorganic aerosol composition was measured in the southeastern United States, a region that exhibits high aerosol mass loading during the summer, as part of the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS) campaign. Measurements using a Monitor for AeRos ...

The incommensurate structure of K3In(PO4)(2)

Gervais Chapuis, Alla Arakcheeva

The incommensurately modulated structure of K3In(PO4)(2) has been solved and refined. The origin of the modulation relates to the ordering of K cations within the hexagonal close packing of the PO4 anions. The driving forces for the modulation of the other ...
