Chemical, thermal and infra-red characterization of chrysotile modes from the Wadi Daftah serpentinite (Semail ophiolite), United Arab Emirates

open access: yesDiscover Geoscience
Serpentine minerals, either polymorphs or polytypes (mostly chrysotile, lizardite and antigorite), are hardly distinguished in ophiolitic serpentinites and serpentinized peridotite unless sophisticated mineralogical tools are applied.

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study of Serpentine Minerals and Assignment of the OH Group

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
Three different kinds of serpentine mineral samples were investigated using Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FTNIR). The results show that there are obvious differences in the characteristic infrared spectra of the three serpentine group ...

Quantifying Serpentinization‐Driven Remagnetization From Ridge Axis to Subduction Zone Using Quantum Diamond Microscopy

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Diachronous ferromagnetic (sensu lato) mineral populations are often juxtaposed on micrometer‐to‐millimeter scales. This poses significant challenges for extracting reliable paleomagnetic information because standard methods measure bulk magnetic moments and cannot distinguish between magnetic minerals with overlapping demagnetization spectra.

Evaluation of Deposition and Clearance of Asbestos (Detected by SEM-EDS) in Lungs of Deceased Subjects Environmentally and/or Occupationally Exposed in Broni (Pavia, Northern Italy)

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2021
Biodurability is one of the main determinants of asbestos hazardousness for human health. Very little is known about the actual persistence of asbestos in lungs and its clearance, nor about differences in this regard between the different mineralogical ...

Archaeometric Analyses of Medieval Pottery from the Lower Danube Region, Romania

open access: yesChemPlusChem, Volume 90, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study is about the pottery manufacturing in the Lower Danube region during the Early Medieval period (8th–10th c. AD). Optical microscopy, Particle induced X‐ray emission, and X‐ray diffraction analyses performed on 32 representative ceramic shards excavated at Pantelimonu de Sus, Constanţa County, Romania, provide clues on the raw materials and ...
