Lithium-stuffed garnets attract huge attention due to their outstanding potential as solid-state electrolytes for lithium batteries. However, there exists a persistent challenge in the reliable synthesis of these complex functional oxides together with a lack of complete understanding of the lithium-ion diffusion mechanisms in these important materials. Addressing these issues is critical to re...

New geochemical data for Pleistocene magmatic rocks from the Surigao peninsula, eastern Mindanao, the Philippines, demonstrate typical adakitic traits, including elevation of Sr /Y and depletion of the heavy rare earth elements. Sr / Sr and Nd / Nd ratios of the adakites do not support melting of the subducted Philippine Sea Plate but resemble Pliocene arc lavas generated in the same subduction...

Thermal conductivity at room temperature and pressure (k0), and heat capacity and total entropy as functions of temperature are calculated for majorite^pyrope garnets from new and previous infrared reflectivity and Raman scattering data. The thermodynamic properties, including the effect of cation disorder, vary by less than 4% over this binary, whereas k0 changes by s 400% due to cation disord...

W.L. Griffin, Suzanne Y. O'Reilly and N.J. Pearson GEMOC, Dept of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia [email protected] It has become conventional wisdom that xenoliths of eclogite and garnet pyroxenite derived from cratonic subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) represent fragments of subducted ocean floor, implying that the SCLM has grown by a litho...

In this paper, −10 μm rutile and −30 garnet particles were selected as samples. The effects of different reagents on the flotation single minerals studied, mechanism was analyzed by contact angle, zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. results show that an optimal recovery is obtained with benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) collector for sodium silicofluoride (SSF) inhibitor ga...

Tracheal squamous cell carcinoma detected early in a high-risk patient has been treated twice with local neodymium-yttrium aluminium garnet laser therapy with good result so far. Ongoing bronchoscopic monitoring continues.
