Plasticity of the dense hydrous magnesium silicate phase A at subduction zones conditions

Yi Wang, Elodie Adeline Amiguet

The plasticity of the dense hydrous magnesium silicate (DHMS) phase A, a key hydrous mineral within cold subduction zones, was investigated by two complementary approaches: high-pressure deformation experiments and computational methods. The deformation ex ...

Composition of the core from gallium metal-silicate partitioning experiments

James Badro

Gallium concentration (normalized to CI chondrites) in the mantle is at the same level as that of lithophile elements with similar volatility, implying that there must be little to no gallium in Earth's core. Metal-silicate partitioning experiments, howeve ...

Partitioning of Si and platinum group elements between liquid and solid Fe-Si alloys

James Badro

Crystallization of the Earth's inner core fractionates major and minor elements between the solid and liquid metal, leaving physical and geochemical imprints on the Earth's core. For example, the density jump observed at the Inner Core Boundary (ICB) is re ...

Hollow cylinder simulation experiments of galleries in Boom Clay formation

Vincent Labiouse, Claire Sauthier, Shuang You

In the context of nuclear waste disposal in clay formations, laboratory experiments were performed to study at reduced scale the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) induced by the construction of galleries in the Boom Clay formation. For this purpose, thick-wall ...

A seismologically consistent compositional model of Earth's core

James Badro

Earth's core is less dense than iron, and therefore it must contain "light elements," such as S, Si, O, or C. We use ab initio molecular dynamics to calculate the density and bulk sound velocity in liquid metal alloys at the pressure and temperature condit ...

Cluster-size dependent internal dynamics and magnetic anisotropy of Ho ions in HoM2N@C-80 and Ho2MN@C-80 families (M = Sc, Lu, Y)

Yi Zhang, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser

The paramagnetic NMR study of HoM2N@C-80-I-h and Ho2MN@C-80-I-h nitride cluster fullerenes (M = Sc, Lu, Y) reveals strong dependence of Ho-induced paramagnetic shifts (delta(para)) in C-13 NMR spectra on the size of the diamagnetic metal in the cluster. In ...
