On $^{146}$Nd, $^{144}$Sm and other unexplored 2$\beta$ decay isotopes
$^{146}$Nd is one of only four (over a total of 35 existing) 2$\beta^-$ decay isotope candidates whose half-lives currently lack experimental limits.

Consistent description of nuclear charge radii and electric monopole transitions [PDF]
A systematic study of energy spectra throughout the rare-earth region (even-even nuclei from $_{58}$Ce to $_{74}$W) is carried out in the framework of the interacting boson model (IBM), leading to an accurate description of the spherical-to-deformed ...

High precision half-life measurement of $^{147}$Sm $\alpha$ decay from thin-film sources
An investigation of the {\alpha}-decay of $^{147}$Sm was performed using an ultra low-background Twin Frisch-Grid Ionisation Chamber (TF-GIC). Four natural samarium samples were produced using pulsed laser deposition in ultra high vacuum.

Rare-Earth Nuclei: Radii, Isotope-Shifts and Deformation Properties in the Relativistic Mean Field Theory [PDF]
A systematic study of the ground-state properties of even-even rare earth nuclei has been performed in the framework of the Relativistic Mean-Field (RMF) theory using the parameter set NL-SH.

Antarctic climate, Southern Ocean circulation patterns, and deep water formation during the Eocene [PDF]
We assess early-to-middle Eocene seawater neodymium (Nd) isotope records from seven Southern Ocean deep-sea drill sites to evaluate the role of Southern Ocean circulation in long-term Cenozoic climate change.

Sr-Nd isotope systematics in 14-28 Ma low-temperature altered mid-ocean ridge basalt from the Australian Antarctic Discordance, Ocean Drilling Program Leg 187 [PDF]
[1] The effects of low-temperature alteration on the Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotope systems were investigated in 14–28 Ma mid-ocean ridge basalts recovered during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 187 from the Australian Antarctic Discordance through comparison ...

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]
Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist
