Magnesium Partitioning Between Earth's Mantle and Core and its Potential to Drive an Early Exsolution Geodynamo

Magnesium partitioning between metal and silicate was experimentally investigated between 34 and 138GPa, 3,500 and 5,450K using laser-heated diamond anvil cells. The 22 measurements are combined with previously published data (total of 49 measurements) to ...

Short magmatic residence times of quartz phenocrysts in Patagonian rhyolites associated with Gondwana breakup

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Lukas Baumgartner, Susanne Seitz

A key parameter in the study of magma evolution is the time scale on which magmatic processes occur. Using nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS), SIMS, and cathodoluminescence (CL) analyses, we have measured titanium (Ti) diffusion profiles ...

Dislocation Motion and the Microphysics of Flash Heating and Weakening of Faults during Earthquakes

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Andrea Cavallo

Earthquakes are the result of slip along faults and are due to the decrease of rock frictional strength (dynamic weakening) with increasing slip and slip rate. Friction experiments simulating the abrupt accelerations (>>10 m/s(2)), slip rates (similar to 1 ...

A new quantification method based on SEM-EDS to assess fly ash composition and study the reaction of its individual components in hydrating cement paste

Karen Scrivener, Cyrille Dunant, Mohsen Ben Haha, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski

Calcareous fly ashes are high-potential reactive residues for blended cements, but their qualification and use in concrete are hindered by heterogeneity and variability. Current characterization often fails to identify the dominant, most reactive, amorphou ...

Using Silicate Mineral Particles for pH Control during in situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Ethene Source Zones

Elsa Marina Lacroix

Soil and groundwater pollution by chlorinated solvents such as tricholorethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) is a frequent problem in the industrialized world. Chlorinated solvents, characterized by a low solubility and a density greater than water, fo ...

Evaluation of silicate minerals for pH control during bioremediation: Application to chlorinated solvents

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Accurate control of groundwater pH is of critical importance for in situ biological treatment of chlorinated solvents. This study evaluated a novel approach for buffering subsurface pH that relies on the use of silicate minerals as a long-term source of al ...

Subsolidus phase equilibria in the RuO2 - Bi2O3 - SiO2 system

Thomas Maeder, Marko Hrovat

Subsolidus equilibria in the RuO2–Bi2O3–SiO2 diagram were studied with the aim of investigating possible interactions between the bismuth-ruthenate- based conductive phase and the silica-rich glasses in thick-film resistors. The tie lines are between Bi2Ru ...

Subsolidus phase equilibria in the PbO-poor part of the TiO2–PbO–SiO2 system and its application in low-temperature thick-film dielectrics

Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Marko Hrovat

Subsolidus equilibria in the PbO-poor part of the TiO2–PbO–SiO2 diagram were studied with the aim of investigating possible applications for low-temperature thick-film dielectrics. The tie lines are between PbTiO2 and PbSiO3, and between PbTiO3 and SiO2. T ...
