2013 Vicência Meteorite Found in Brazil: Preliminary Classification Efforts Based on Traditional Approaches and Cathodoluminescence (CL) Maps

چکیده
A meteorite fall took place on September 21, 2013 in a tiny village called Vicência (also known as Vila da Borracha), located at Brazil’s northeast region, more specifically on the northwest of Pernambuco State. The meteorite almost struck a man (Mr. Adeildo) who noticed that one of the rock sides was still warm. The meteorite is now at the Rio de Janeiro National Museum for petrological classification. In this paper we describe the study of cathodoluminescence (CL) emission after exposing thin specimen of the meteorite slices to an electron beam, as an aid to traditional classification methods.

Analysis Accruing of Sentinel 2A Image’s Classification Methods Based on Object Base and Pixel Base in Flood Area Zoning of Taleqan River
Flood zonation mapping is one of the priorities for the soil and water management, which Remote Sensing (RS) capabilities are very applicable to this issue. The main objective of this research was study of accuracy of the Object oriented and Pixel based methods for flood zonation mapping in the Taleghan River basin. Therefore, the Sentinel 2A satellite image of the study area classified using s...
متن کاملA study of cathodoluminescence and trace element compositional zoning in natural quartz from volcanic rocks: mapping titanium content in quartz.
This article concerns application of cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy to volcanic quartz and its utility in assessing variation in trace quantities of Ti within individual crystals. CL spectroscopy provides useful details of intragrain compositional variability and structure but generally limited quantitative information on element abundances. Microbeam analysis can provide such informatio...
متن کاملDefect study of SnO2 nanostructures by cathodoluminescence analysis: application to nanowires
Defects in SnO2 nanowires have been studied by cathodoluminescence, and the obtained spectra have been compared with those measured on SnO2 nanocrystals of different sizes in order to reveal information about point defects not determined by other characterization techniques. Dependence of the luminescence bands on the thermal treatment temperatures and pre-treatment conditions have been determi...
متن کاملMapping of Weak Cathodoluminescence Signals
Mapping of cathodoluminescent active materials to show growth zoning, trace element variations and valence is becoming more common [1]. The desire to capture cathodoluminescence (CL) maps from samples that are weakly emitting arises for two reasons. Firstly, the chemical spatial resolution in maps is related to the accelerating voltage used, and the drive for higher resolution x-ray maps is lea...
متن کاملMapping plasmons in nanoantennas via cathodoluminescence
We analyze cathodoluminescence (CL) emission from silver nanorod antennas induced by energetic electron beams. The dependence of the emission spectra on particle morphology and electron energy is explored by means of full electromagnetic calculations based on the boundary element method (BEM). We present light-emission image maps obtained by using a light detection system that is incorporated i...
