A MODEL OF SILICATE GRAIN NUCLEATION AND GROWTH IN CIRCUMSTELLAR OUTFLOWS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2011
Based on its abundance, high bond energy, and recent measurements of its vapor pressure SiO is a natural candidate for dust nucleation in circumstellar outflows around asymptotic giant branch stars. In this paper, we describe a model of the nucleation and growth of silicate dust in such outflows.

Raman Line Scan Analyses and a New Hypothesis for the Formation of Anatase‐Hosting Microbialites: Study of the Stromatolites From Saint‐Jean‐de‐la‐Rivière, Cotentin, France

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Micrometer analysis of millimeter lines of Raman spectra concludes in the association of anatase and graphitized organic matter (graphogen). The photosynthetic microorganisms at the origin of the microbialites produce O2, which is transformed by TiO2 into reactive species that, in turn, decompose the organic matter of the microorganisms. ABSTRACT Raman

Jewelled Byzantine and Medieval Reliquaries of the True Cross: Peridots and Other Gemstones in Material and Symbolic Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
An interdisciplinary in situ study of jewelled reliquaries of the True Cross integrates gemmology and portable analytical techniques, revealing new evidence on the identification and symbolic role of peridots and other gemstones. ABSTRACT Jewelled crosses containing relics of the True Cross occupy a central position in the devotional, artistic and ...

Silicate Sundogs: Probing the Effects of Grain Directionality in Exoplanet Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Crystalline ice in Earth’s atmosphere can produce spectacular phenomena due to orientation-dependent attenuation, such as sundogs and halos, providing diagnostics of the external processes acting on the aerosol grains.

Ambient‐Light‐Activated Rewritable Optical Patterning in Transparent Long‐Afterglow Garnet Ceramics

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates sunlight‐activated rewritable optical information storage in transparent long‐afterglow Y3Al2Ga3O12:Ce (YAGG:Ce) garnet ceramics fabricated via solid‐state sintering with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a sintering aid. By integrating ambient‐light operability, reversibility, and high optical clarity in a robust ceramic host ...

Analysis of Corrosion and Wall Perforation in the Heat Exchanger Made of AISI 316L Stainless Steel

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Elevated passivation temperature is identified as the dominant factor triggering localized corrosion and subsequent perforation of AISI 316L heat exchanger tubes. Electrochemical and complementary characterization results show that the alloy retains high resistance to general, pitting, and intergranular corrosion, indicating that failure primarily ...

Supernova Dust Synthesis—Carbonaceous Dust in the Very Early Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent observations have revealed the spectral features of carbonaceous grains even in very distant galaxies. We develop a state-of-the-art dust synthesis code by self-consistently solving molecule and dust formation in supernova (SN) ejecta that contain

Application of Magnesium Metal as Anode in Batteries

open access: yesMetalMat, EarlyView.
When used as an anode, magnesium metal offers several advantages, including a high volumetric capacity, environmental friendliness, abundant natural reserves, and a low tendency for dendrite growth. Battery types employing magnesium as the anode include rechargeable magnesium‐ion batteries, aqueous magnesium‐ion batteries, magnesium–air batteries, and ...
