Silicate absorption in heavily obscured galaxy nuclei [PDF]
Spectroscopy at 8-13 microns with T-ReCS on Gemini-S is presented for 3 galaxies with substantial silicate absorption features, NGC 3094, NGC 7172 and NGC 5506. In the galaxies with the deepest absorption bands, the silicate profile towards the nuclei is well represented by the emissivity function derived from the circumstellar emission from the red ...

Monte Carlo Simulation of Dust Particles in a Protoplanetary Disk: Crystalline to Amorphous Silicate Ratio in Comets [PDF]
Observationally inferred crystalline abundance in silicates in comets, which should have been formed in the outer region of a protoplanetary disk, is relatively high (~ 10-60%), although crystalline silicates would be formed by annealing of amorphous precursors in the disk inner region.

The silicate absorption profile in the ISM towards the heavily obscured nucleus of NGC 4418 [PDF]
The 9.7-micron silicate absorption profile in the interstellar medium provides important information on the physical and chemical composition of interstellar dust grains. Measurements in the Milky Way have shown that the profile in the diffuse interstellar medium is very similar to the amorphous silicate profiles found in circumstellar dust shells ...

Coffee‐ring‐effect‐induced water scale formation of silicic acid‐containing droplet
The drying behavior of silicic acid‐containing water droplets on a glass substrate was investigated by using as‐prepared aqueous silica solutions of varying concentrations to simulate water scale‐like formation.

Silicate Composition of the Interstellar Medium [PDF]
The composition of silicate dust in the diffuse interstellar medium and in protoplanetary disks around young stars informs our understanding of the processing and evolution of the dust grains leading up to planet formation. Analysis of the well-known 9.7{\mu}m feature indicates that small amorphous silicate grains represent a significant fraction of ...

Investigation of Accelerated Hydration in Nanosilica Incorporated Tricalcium Silicate using THz Spectroscopy [PDF]
The incorporation of nanosilica in cementitious systems helps in accelerating the cement hydration process and early-stage formation of the main hydration product, that is, calcium silicate hydrate. Nanosilica reacts with the other key hydration product, calcium hydroxide to form additional calcium silicate hydrate. In this work, Terahertz spectroscopy

Biosilicification Drives a Decline of Dissolved Si in the Oceans through Geologic Time
Biosilicification has driven variation in the global Si cycle over geologic time. The evolution of different eukaryotic lineages that convert dissolved Si (DSi) into mineralized structures (higher plants, siliceous sponges, radiolarians, and diatoms) has
