The structure and petrology of the Cnoc nan Cuilean Intrusion, Loch Loyal Syenite Complex, NW Scotland [PDF]
In NW Scotland, several alkaline intrusive complexes of Silurian age intrude the Caledonian orogenic front. The most northerly is the Loch Loyal Syenite Complex, which is divided into three separate intrusions (Ben Loyal, Beinn Stumanadh and Cnoc nan ...

Routine characterization and interpretation of complex alkali feldspar intergrowths [PDF]
Almost all alkali feldspar crystals contain a rich inventory of exsolution, twin, and domain microtextures that form subsequent to crystal growth and provide a record of the thermal history of the crystal and often of its involvement in replacement ...

Electrorheological properties of polyaniline/K-feldspar conducting composite
In this study, synthesis of conducting polyaniline (PAn)/potassium-feldspar (K-feldspar) composites, having various amounts of PAn, was carried out using (NH4)2S2O8 as oxidizing agent. The conducting composites were characterized by a series of techniques namely: Fourier transform–infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy ...

Radiation-induced growth and isothermal decay of infrared-stimulated luminescence from feldspar [PDF]
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages can determine a wide range of geological events or processes, such as the timing of sediment deposition, the exposure duration of a rock surface, or the cooling rate of bedrock.
