This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the state-of-knowledge of radiation
effects in crystalline ceramics that may be used for the immobilization of high-level nuclear …

High-level nuclear waste in the United States comprises large volumes (tens of millions of
cubic meters), high total activities (billions of Curies) and highly diverse and complex …

In today's world, many people rely on the availability of databases to perform daily activities
such as checking meteorological forecast, finding a recipe, or verifying the spelling of a …

The ability of crystalline zircon (ZrSiO4) to incorporate and retain trace element and isotopic
information, due to sluggish diffusion, makes it an indispensable tool for geochemists and …

Annealing of the radiation damage generated in α-decay events is a common phenomenon
in natural zircons. We have studied relationships between radiation damage, age and …

A transformative advance in Earth science is the development of low‐temperature
thermochronometry to date Earth surface processes or quantify the thermal evolution of …

Lead diffusion has been measured in natural titanite using two different methods to
introduce the diffusant:(1) implantation of Pb ions; and (2) immersion of the crystals in a PbS …

The coordination environment of Ti (IV) in a variety of Ti-bearing crystalline oxide and
silicate model compounds has been studied using Ti K-edge x-ray absorption fine structure …

The Eastern Ghats belt is a large high-grade terrane exposed along the east coast of India.
The late Proterozoic orogen consists of N–S trending charnockite and metasedimentary …

Defining the molecular-scale structure and dynamics of silicate melts has been a long-term
goal of inorganic geochemists, igneous petrologists, ceramists, glass technologists, and …
