Late Cretaceous lithospheric extension in SE China: Constraints from volcanic rocks in Hainan Island
2015
Abstract Petrological, geochemical and in-situ zircon U–Pb dating and Hf-isotope analyses have been carried out on a suite of basalt–andesite–rhyolite volcanic rocks exposed in the Liuluocun area, Hainan Island, SE China. Zircon analyses show that these volcanic rocks crystallized in the Early Cretaceous (ca. 102 Ma). The basalts are characterized by low MgO contents and mg-numbers but high rare earth element, high field strength element and large ion lithophile element contents and Nb–Ta negative anomalies. They have relatively uniform Sr–Nd isotope compositions with e Nd (t) values of − 4.09 to − 3.63. The andesites show enrichment of high field strength element and rare earth element wit…
Halogens in Mafic and Intermediate-Silica Content Magmas
2018
As volatile and variably mobile components, halogens play key roles in magmatic, metasomatic, mineralizing, and volcanic processes by influencing the physical and chemical properties of melts, fluids, and minerals. Volcanic emission of halogens to the atmosphere leads to long- and short-term impacts on atmospheric chemistry that range from global perturbation of the stratospheric O3 budget to more localized life-threatening contamination of soils and fresh water. The concentrations of F, Cl, Br, and I in melts, fluids, and minerals provide crucial geochemical information and insights into magmatic processes ranging from partial melting to volcanic eruptions. Halogen research is useful for e…
Analysis of Sagunto Ibero-Roman votive bronze statuettes by portable X-ray fluorescence
2019
Abstract The main objective of this work was the study of chemical composition of an important collection of Ibero-Roman votive bronze statuettes exposed in the Archaeological Museum of Sagunto (Spain). Precision and accuracy of the measurements were obtained developing a proper analytical method, also avoiding any possible damage to the studied objects using a portable energy dispersive X- ray fluorescence system. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to discriminate between groups based on ratios Fe/Cu, Pb/Cu, Sn/Cu, Ag/Cu, Ni/Cu and Impurities/Cu were employed to observe differences between the used smelting, manufacturing processes and raw materials. The characterisation of bronze statuet…
Computer simulation studies of finite-size broadening of solid–liquid interfaces: from hard spheres to nickel
2009
Using Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations interfacial properties of crystal-fluid interfaces are investigated for the hard sphere system and the one-component metallic system Ni (the latter modeled by a potential of the embedded atom type). Different local order parameters are considered to obtain order parameter profiles for systems where the crystal phase is in coexistence with the fluid phase, separated by interfaces with (100) orientation of the crystal. From these profiles, the mean-squared interfacial width w^2 is extracted as a function of system size. We rationalize the prediction of capillary wave theory that w^2 diverges logarithmically with the lateral size o…
Thermal sprayed coatings for protection against cavitation erosion
2018
In order to protect the hydraulic components from cavitation erosion phenomena, the parts are often coated by thermal spraying. Buck YSZ shows an excellent performance against cavitation erosion. However, the cavitation erosion resistance of YSZ coatings have vaguely been studied. Therefore, in this study, YSZ were manufactured with different thermal spraying processes and post-treated by laser remelting, then they were subjected to cavitation tests according to ASTM G32.The YSZ coating was first manufactured by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). Various sizes of YSZ powder and different preheating temperatures of the substrate were studied to observe their effect on the cavitation behavior…
Die Kristallisation von Mehrkomponentensystemen aus hochpolymeren Stoffen
1977
Es wird untersucht, welche Anderungen im Kristallisationsverhalten hochpolymerer Stoffe auftreten, wenn man von einem Einkomponentensystem auf ein Mehrkomponentensystem ubergeht. Beispiele fur Mehrkomponentensysteme sind Homopolymere mit einer breiten Molekulargewichtsverteilung, Mischungen aus verschiedenen Homopolymeren, gequollene Polymere, Blockcopolymere und statistische Copolymere. Das Auftreten einer Molekulargewichtsverteilung ausert sich vor allem bei einer Kristallisation mit gestreckten Ketten, und zwar in der Weise, das eine Fraktionierung nach Molekullangen auftritt. Des weiteren bewirkt sie eine Verbreiterung des Schmelzbereichs. Die Anwesenheit eines zweiten nichtkristallisie…
A vacuum cell for obtaining clean surfaces on liquid low melting point metals
1997
Abstract Clean oxide film-free surface of liquid gallium was obtained in a sealed vacuum cell with a glass lid for observation. The cell was evacuated to high vacuum (10 -4 Pa) before admission of liquid and sealing. The surface contamination was about 2–5% of the free area and did not exhibit noticeable increase during several months of storing and employing the cell. The cell described allows observation of surface flows, capillary phenomena and crystallization processes under different conditions.
Crystal and molecular structure of anhydrous betaine, (CH3)3NCH2CO2
1999
Abstract 1–Carboxy–N,N,N–trimethylmethanamanium inner salt or anhydrous betaine, (CH3)3NCH2CO2, FW=117.15 gmol −1 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a=14.544(2) A , b=6.859(3) A , c=6.131(1) A , V=611.7(3) A 3 , Z=4, D x =1.27 Mgm −3 , λ (MoK α )=0.71073 A , μ =0.091 mm −1 . The structure was resolved by direct methods and refined by least-square calculations to R=0.038 for 531 reflections. Observed changes in bond angles imply that there is a repulsion between nitrogen and oxygen. The melting point (measured at onset) is 570 K. FTIR spectra of anhydrous betaine and monohydrate were recorded. Clear differences were found between the two compounds based on infrared (i.r…
Crystal structures and thermal behavior of bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuBr4, bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuCl4 and bis[dimethyldi(2-phenylethyl)am…
2006
Abstract Bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuBr4, bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuCl4 and bis[dimethyldi(2-phenylethyl)ammonium]CuBr4 were crystallized from acetonitrile and/or dilute HX solutions. Five different kinds of single crystals were obtained. In the case of bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuX4 (X=Br or Cl), the acetonitrile molecules cocrystallized into the crystal structure when acetonitrile solution was used. As a result, the isomorphic structures of Bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuX4·0.5 CH3CN (X=Br or Cl) in monoclinic space group P21/n were obtained. When a dilute HX solution was used, the bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuX4 (X=Br or Cl) crystallized without solvent molecules. The formed…
Thermal behaviour of anhydrous, dihydrate and (2/1) ethanol forms of 1-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-d-mannitol
1998
Abstract The melting points of anhydrous 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol, 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol dihydrate and a new compound, 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol-ethanol (2/1) were determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The melting onset values were 169.2 (3), 104.3 (18) and 158.7 (9), respectively, and the melting peak values were 171.4 (5), 107.9 (15) and 160.1 (6), respectively. 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol dihydrate and 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol-ethanol (2/1) decompose to anhydrous form when heated at slow heating rates. According to TG-FTIR measurements, 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol-ethanol (2/1) lost its ethanol in the…
