Natural and synthetic pyrope-almandine compositions from 38 to 100 mol% almandine (Alm38-Alm100) were studied by synchrotron X-ray diffraction in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell to 177 GPa. Single-phase orthorhombic GdFeO3-type perovskites were synthes ...
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 ...
Diamond/metal composites with diamond contents between 57 and 72 vol% have been produced by gas pressure assisted liquid metal infiltration using Ag-3 wt% Si and Al-2 wt% Cu as matrix. The experimental data cover a range of Young's moduli from 300 to 425 G ...
Ceramic lasers have advantages such as better optical homogeneity, cheaper production, and more freedom in shape compared with monocrystalline lasers. However, equal or better laser performances are required. Interface segregation is important as ceramics ...
The preparation of single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis is frequently the most difficult step in structural studies of proteins.With the aid of two examples, it is shown that de novo solution of the crystallographic phase problem can be achieved at l ...
