Introduction. Plagioclase feldspar has been identified as the dominant mineral phase in the martian crust [1-2] through analysis of Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) data. Martian meteorites , samples of isolated terrain on Mars, contain plagioclase in abundances secondary only to pyroxene. Terrestrial basalts and andesites contain primary plagioclase that is calcic-inter...

Abstract Utility of the geothermal surface manifestations (GSMs; thermal springs, geysers, fumaroles, and zones hydrothermal alteration) in studies related to exploration is widely recognized. The identification hydrothermally altered rocks alteration very important because their presence indicates type size reservoir existing conditions. use traditional methods (i.e., geochemistry, mineralogy,...

efforts to enhance oil recovery through wettability alteration by nanoparticles have been attracted inrecent years. however, many basic questions have been ambiguous up until now. nanoparticlespenetrate into pore volume of porous media, stick on the core surface, and by creating homogeneouswater-wet area, cause to alter wettability. this work introduces the new concept of adding znonanoparticle...

Thermal conductivity is an important property of oxide glasses, but its structural origins remain largely unknown. Here, we provide detailed modal information on thermal in a calcium aluminosilicate glass by relying recent advances lattice dynamics methods. We probe various features using molecular simulations densifying the at pressures up to 100 GPa and studying vibrational, mechanical, prope...
