The blue road: Provenance study of azurite samples from historical locations through the analysis of minor and trace elements [PDF]
The pigments used by artists since ancient times play an important role in historical, artistic, and cultural investigations. They allow the acquisition of useful information for the study of human and technological development.

Ammonium–Amine Co-Activation: Promoting the Sulfurization of Azurite and Its Effect on Xanthate Adsorption [PDF]
Enhanced sulfurization has always been the focus of research on the flotation of copper oxide minerals. In this study, combined ammonium–amine salts were innovatively applied to improve the sulfurization of azurite.

Semiquantitative theory for high-field low-temperature properties of a distorted diamond spin chain [PDF]
We consider the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a distorted diamond chain and use the localized-magnon picture adapted to a distorted geometry to discuss some of its high-field low-temperature properties.

Multi-Analytical and Non-Invasive Approach for Characterising Blackened Areas of Originally Blue Paints [PDF]
Azurite, a natural mineral pigment consisting of basic copper carbonate (2CuCO3·Cu(OH)2), is one of the Middle Ages’ most common blue pigments. Why paintings originally coated with azurite appear blackened today remains debated.

Thermal stability of azurite and malachite in relation to the formation of mediaeval glass and glazes [PDF]
Azurite and malachite have been extensively used as pigments in ancient and medieval manuscripts, glasses and glazes. The thermal stability of naturally occurring azurite and malachite was determined using a combination of controlled rate thermal ...

Critical Phenomena at the Antiferromagnetic Phase Transition of Azurite [PDF]
We report on high-resolution acoustic, specific-heat and thermal expansion measurements in the vicinity of the antiferromagnetic phase transition at T_N = 1.88 K on a high-quality single crystal of the natural mineral azurite. A detailed investigation of

Dynamic and thermodynamic properties of the generalised diamond chain model for azurite [PDF]
The natural mineral azurite Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2 is an interesting spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnet. Recently, a generalised diamond chain model has been established as a good description of the magnetic properties of azurite with parameters placing it in a ...

Raman spectroscopic analysis of azurite blackening
AbstractAzurite is a basic copper carbonate pigment largely employed in painting realization. The areas painted with azurite are easily alterable and are often less resistant than the other parts of artworks. The azurite alteration in a black pigment, the copper oxide (tenorite), has been studied by micro‐Raman spectroscopy.
