Abstract Magnesium Oxide (MgO) and water (H2O) are abundant in the interior of planets.
Their properties, and in particular their interaction, significantly affect the planet interior …

The micro-to nano-sized nature of layered materials, particularly characteristic of naturally
occurring clay minerals, limits our ability to fully interrogate their atomic dispositions and …

Molecular scale understanding of the structure and properties of aqueous interfaces with
clays, metal (oxy-) hydroxides, layered double hydroxides, and other inorganic phases is …

The formation of stacking faults and phase interstratification disorder in layered nickel (II)
hydroxides during the chemical precipitation synthesis of materials using nickel (II) nitrate …

Transition metal hydroxides are commonly used to develop nanostructures with desired
functionalities by controlling their size, morphology, and structure. In this study, nickel …

Nesquehonite, hydromagnesite, and brucite are important precursors for the preparation of
high-purity magnesia (MgO) using magnesium resources from salt lake as raw materials. In …

The compression behaviors of δ-AlOOH and δ-AlOOD were investigated under quasi-
hydrostatic conditions at pressures up to 63.5 and 34.9 GPa, respectively, using results from …

Using first principle simulations we calculated the elasticity of chlorite. At a density ρ~ 2.60 g
cm− 3, the elastic constant tensor reveals significant elastic anisotropy: VP~ 27%, VS1 …

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the
deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand …

Serpentines occur in the subduction zone settings, both along the slab and within the mantle
wedge, they are candidates for transporting water in to the deep earth. Their presence is …
