Magnetic Domain Texture in Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Thin Films on SiO<sub>2</sub> Nanospheres. [PDF]
Fe3O4 thin films grown on ordered SiO2 nanospheres form curved nanocaps with 3D geometry, inducing magnetic domain texture. X‐ray spectromicroscopy (XMCD‐PEEM), cross‐sectional electron microscopy (STEM), and polarized grazing‐incidence small‐angle neutron scattering (GISANS) reveal how topography modulates magnetization.

Evaluation of Matrix Effects in SIMS Using Gaussian Process Regression: The Case of Olivine Mg Isotope Microanalysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Matrix effects by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) are empirically corrected by calibration using matrix‐matched reference materials. However, conventional parametric regression cannot estimate the prediction uncertainty to account for the difference in compositions of new data and reference materials. Applying Gaussian process

Constraining Earth’s core composition from inner core nucleation [PDF]
The composition of Earth’s core is a fundamental property of the Earth’s deep interior, defining its present structure and long term thermal and magnetic evolution. However, the composition of the core is not well understood, with several combinations of

The kerogen vanadyl porphyrins: Incorporation during catagenesis [PDF]
Natural vanadyl (VO 2+)-deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrins (DPEP) have been shown to be capable of reacting and quantitatively incorporating into immature kerogen model materials (torbanite, lignites, subbituminous coal and immature lacustrine ...
