Thermoluminescence of zircon: a kinetic model [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2003
The mineral zircon, ZrSiO4, belongs to a class of promising materials for geochronometry by means of thermoluminescence (TL) dating. The development of a reliable and reproducible method for TL dating with zircon requires detailed knowledge of the processes taking place during exposure to ionizing radiation, long-term storage, annealing at moderate ...

The Medicine Hat Block and the Early Paleoproterozoic Assembly of Western Laurentia

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
The accretion of the Wyoming, Hearne, and Superior Provinces to form the Archean core of western Laurentia occurred rapidly in the Paleoproterozoic. Missing from Hoffman’s (1988) original rapid aggregation model was the Medicine Hat block (MHB).

Zircon saturation in terrestrial basaltic melts and its geological implications

open access: yesSolid Earth Sciences, 2019
Zircon is a widely used accessary mineral, and zircon saturation in silicate melts has many applications in geology. Based on the original model proposed by Watson and Harrison (Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 64:295–304, 1983), the quantification of the zircon

Transition Metal Compounds as Thermochromic Materials: Classification, Properties, Limitations, and Applications

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

Evaluation of surface characteristics and natural radioactivity of mineral-based glaze according to zircon substitution

open access: yesJournal of Asian Ceramic Societies
Zircon (ZrSiO4) is widely utilized as an opacifying agent in the glazes of sanitary-ware and ceramic tile. Zircon is dispersed in the glassy phase during the manufacture process of glaze, contributing a high refractive index and enhanced mechanical ...
