New tools for phase segmentation and denoising of analytical STEM data for enhanced chemical sensitivity, applied to Earth mantle research

Hui Chen, Hui Chen

This thesis is dedicated to developing innovative methodologies that improve elemental quantification in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The primary motivation stems from a geochemistry pr ...

First-Principles Thermodynamics of CsSnI3

Nicola Marzari, Lorenzo Monacelli

CsSnI3 is a promising ecofriendly solution for energy harvesting technologies. It exists at room temperature in either a black perovskite polymorph or a yellow 1D double-chain, which irreversibly deteriorates in the air. In this work, we unveil the relativ ...

Weekly to monthly time scale of melt inclusion entrapment prior to eruption recorded by phosphorus distribution in olivine from mid-ocean ridges

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Lukas Baumgartner, Othmar Müntener

Melt inclusions (MIs) hosted in euhedral olivine have been proposed to represent droplets of primary melt, protected from processes occurring near Earth's surface during eruption. The complex zoning of phosphorus (P) in some olivines and the presence of a ...

Phase transition processes of olivine in the shocked Martian meteorite Tissint: Clues to origin of ringwoodite-, bridgmanite- and magnesiowilstite-bearing assemblages

Philippe Gillet

Tissint is a heavily shocked olivine-phyric shergottite. We investigated and documented several phase transformations and dissociation phenomena of olivine adjacent to and in many shock-induced melt-pockets of Tissint. Olivine grains entrained in the melt- ...

Unique large diamonds in a ureilite from Almahata Sitta 2008 TC3 asteroid

Philippe Gillet

The Almahata Sitta MS-170 ureilite (a piece of a breccia originating from the asteroid, 2008 TC3) consists mainly of olivine, with many diamond and graphite grains existing between the olivine grains. The occurrences of the diamonds are unique; i.e., (i) s ...

Shock-induced deformation of Shergottites: Shock-pressures and perturbations of magmatic ages on Mars

Philippe Gillet, Pierre Beck

Shergottites and Chassignites practiced major deformation effects whose nature, magnitude and relevance were controversially evaluated and disputatively debated. Our studies of many shocked shergottites present, contrary to numerous previous reports, ample ...

An experimental model approach of biologically-assisted silicate dissolution with olivine and Escherichia coli - Impact on chemical weathering of mafic rocks and atmospheric CO2 drawdown

Philippe Gillet

Chemical weathering of Mg, Ca-silicates and alumino-silicates contributes significantly to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2 over long time scales. The present work focuses on how this mode of weathering may change in the presence of free-living bacteria in ...

Shock Events in the Solar System: The Message from Minerals in Terrestrial Planets and Asteroids

Philippe Gillet

Impacts are central to the origin and evolution of planets of the Solar System. The shapes of craters, which can reach up to 1,000 km in diameter on the Moon, provide critical information on the large-scale dynamics of the impact and related shock. Mineral ...

Effects of Fe-enrichment on the equation of state and stability of (Mg,Fe)SiO3 perovskite

Susannah McGregor Dorfman

Fe-rich natural orthopyroxenes with compositions of (Mg0.61Fe0.38Ca0.01)SiO3 (Fe#38) and (Mg0.25Fe0.74Ca0.01)SiO3 (Fe#74) were studied at pressures up to 155 GPa and temperatures up to 3000 K. Single-phase orthorhombic GdFeO3-type perovskite was synthesize ...

Using Silicate Mineral Particles for pH Control during in situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Ethene Source Zones

Elsa Marina Lacroix

Soil and groundwater pollution by chlorinated solvents such as tricholorethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) is a frequent problem in the industrialized world. Chlorinated solvents, characterized by a low solubility and a density greater than water, fo ...

A systematic mapping procedure based on the Modified Gaussian Model to characterize magmatic units from olivine/pyroxenes mixtures: Application to the Syrtis Major volcanic shield on Mars

Harold Gabriel Eugène Justin Clenet

Clenet et al. (2011) have developed an adapted version of the Modified Gaussian Model (MGM). The improvements allow the characterization of spectra of olivine-pyroxene(s) mixtures, addressing both modal composition and individual minerals chemical composit ...

Synthesis and equation of state of perovskites in the (Mg, Fe)(3)Al2Si3O12 system to 177 GPa

Susannah McGregor Dorfman

Natural and synthetic pyrope-almandine compositions from 38 to 100 mol% almandine (Alm38-Alm100) were studied by synchrotron X-ray diffraction in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell to 177 GPa. Single-phase orthorhombic GdFeO3-type perovskites were synthes ...

Molecular wiring of LiMnPO4 (olivine) by ruthenium(II)-bipyridine complexes

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ladislav Kavan

LiMnPO4 (olivine) was surface-modified by two different complexes: Ru-bis(4,4'-diethoxycarbonyl-2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dicarboxylate-2,2'-bipyridine) and Ru-bis(4-carboxylic acid-4'-carboxylate-2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dinonyl-2,2'bipyridine). These complexes ...
