Role of K-feldspar and quartz in global ice nucleation by mineral dust in mixed-phase clouds
Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) enable ice formation, profoundly affecting the microphysical and radiative properties, lifetimes, and precipitation rates of clouds. Mineral dust emitted from arid regions, particularly potassium-containing feldspar (K-felds ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2023Aggregate dissolution in different pore solutions
The occurrence of cracking due to alkali silica reaction (ASR) affects the service life of concrete structures. The dissolution of silica-containing minerals within aggregates causes the formation of ASR products, which fill macroscopic cracks and cause th ...
EPFL2021Geochemistry, geothermometry and influence of the concentration of mobile elements in the chemical characteristics of carbonate-evaporitic thermal systems. The case of the Tiermas geothermal system (Spain)
The Tiermas low temperature geothermal system, hosted in the Paleocene-Eocene carbonates of the Jaca-Pamplona basin, has been studied to evaluate the geochemistry and the temperature of the waters in the deep reservoir. These waters are of chloride-sodium ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017Spin state transition and partitioning of iron: Effects on mantle dynamics
Experimental studies at pressure and temperature conditions of the Earth's lower mantle have shown that iron in ferropericlase (Fp) and in Mg-silicate perovskite (Pv) undergoes a spin state transition. This electronic transition changes elastic and transpo ...
Elsevier2015Defect ordering and defect-domain-wall interactions in PbTiO3: A first-principles study
Nava Setter, Nicola Marzari, Dragan Damjanovic, Anand Chandrasekaran
The properties of ferroelectric materials, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), are heavily influenced by the interaction of defects with domain walls. These defects are either intrinsic or are induced by the addition of dopants. We study here PbTiO3 (th ...
