The uranium and thorium decay series (hereafter “U-series”) include the nuclides of ten
elements, all of which can be found at trace levels in rocks and minerals. The relatively short …

We have studied the influence of Ca-Tschermaks (Calcium Tschermaks or CaTs) content of
clinopyroxene on the partitioning of trace elements between this phase and silicate melt at …

Experiments in the systems diopside-albite (Di-Ab) and diopside-albite-dolomite (Di-Ab-
Dmt), doped with a wide range of trace elements, have been used to characterise the …

A systematic characterization of the chemical factors that control calcium partitioning
between olivine and melt in a magmatic environment was undertaken using experiments …

The concentrations and locations of elements that strongly partition into the fluid phase in
rocks provide essential constraints on geochemical and geodynamical processes in Earth's …

New experimental amphibole/melt partition coefficients from a variety of geologically
relevant amphibole (pargasite, kaersutite, and K-richterite) and melt compositions obtained …

We describe the application of atomistic simulation techniques to investigate the effect of
associative and dissociative adsorption of water on the structures and stabilities of the low …

We have studied the energetics of trace element incorporation into pure almandine (Alm),
grossular (Gros), pyrope (Py) and spessartine (Spes) garnets (X3Al2Si3O12, with X= Fe, Ca …

Partition coefficients for Rb, Sr, Sm, Nd, U, Th, Pb, La, Ce, Ba, Nb, and Li between
phlogopite, clinopyroxene and melt were determined in order to characterize the effect of …

This study provided the first in-depth investigation of the effects of large dopant
incompatibility (Pr 3+ and La 3+ ions) on the small host lattice element (Lu 3+) in Lu 3 Al 5 O …
