How Water Binds to Microcline Feldspar (001) [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2023 Microcline feldspar (KAlSi$_3$O$_8$) is a common mineral with important roles for Earth's ecological balance. It participates in the carbon, potassium, and water cycles, contributing to CO$_2$ sequestration, soil formation, and atmospheric ice nucleation.

Ice nucleation activity of silicates and aluminosilicates in pure water and aqueous solutions – Part 1: The K-feldspar microcline [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Potassium-containing feldspars (K-feldspars) have been considered as key mineral dusts for ice nucleation (IN) in mixed-phase clouds. To investigate the effect of solutes on their IN efficiency, we performed immersion freezing experiments with the K ...

Thermodynamic model of the hydrolysis of microcline in acid-sulfate solutions [PDF]
, 1976 A theoretical model of the hydrolysis of microcline by a hydrothermal solution has been determined for a closed system at constant temperature. Hypothetical solution compositions and temperatures were chosen to match the known geothermal system at Roosevelt Hot Springs, Utah.

Pegmatites of the Mokromoskovsk granite pluton [PDF]
Вісник Харківського національного університету імені В.Н. Каразіна. Серія Геологія. Географія. ЕкологіяIntroduction. The Mokromoskovsky pluton is composed of light gray granites and dark gray granodiorites. Light gray granites are composed of oligoclase (35-40%), microcline (20-25%), quartz (30-35%), and biotite (2-5%).

Nanoscopic feldspar islands on K-feldspar microcline (001)
Physical Chemistry Chemical PhysicsHigh-resolution atomic force microscopy on microcline (001) reveals nanoscopic islands, which have the same atomic structure as the terrace and are stable in contact with water. The islands were identified as an intrinsic feature of the surface.
