Feldspars are the most abundant mineral in the earth's crust, however, their interest in
ceramic industry goes beyond their abundancy. The unique compositional and structural …

When two solutes crystallize simultaneously from an aqueous phase and have similar
crystal structures, a solid solution is likely to form. Indeed, although often disregarded, solid …

A pyrope-quartzite originally described by Vialon (1966) from the Dora Maira massif was
resampled and reinvestigated. Garnet (up to 25 cm in size), phengite, kyanite, talc and rutile …

Controlled photoluminescence tuning is important for the optimization and modification of
phosphor materials. Herein we report an isostructural solid solution of (CaMg) x (NaSc) 1–x …

Biostratigraphic, isotopic, and petrologic data from the Central Pontides document major
southward growth of the Eurasian continental crust by subduction-accretion during the …

During the Caledonian orogeny large parts of the western margin of the Baltic shield were
disrupted, sliced and stacked. Caledonian deformation resulted in a massif thickening of the …

Published experimental data including garnet and clinopyroxene as run products were used
to develop a new formulation of the garnet–clinopyroxene geothermometer based on 333 …

Jadeitite-bearing serpentinite-matrix mélange is distributed in the Caribbean (Guatemala,
Cuba, and Dominican Republic), circum-Pacific (Japan, Western USA, and Papua New …

Space groups, order-parameter and strain/order-parameter coupling relationships in ABX3
perovskite structures which combine cooperative Jahn–Teller distortions and octahedral …

Abstract The Adula Nappe is a slice of Pre-Mesozoic continental basement affected by Early
Alpine (Mesozoic or Lower Tertiary) high-pressure metamorphism. Mineral compositions in …
