Experimental calibration of the reduced partition function ratios of tetrahedrally coordinated silicon from the Debye–Waller factors
- Materials ScienceContributions to Mineralogy and Petrology
- 2021
We present a new force constants approach that combines experimental and theoretical data to constrain the reduced partition function ratio (β\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath}…
In search of the crystal structure of low quartz
- Chemistry
- 2009
Abstract A comparison of numerous determinations of unit cell dimensions and of crystal structure refinements of low quartz, SiO2, shows that there exists no study at a defined temperature and at…
Improved volume variable cluster model method for crystal-lattice optimization: effect on isotope fractionation factor
- Materials ScienceGeochemical Transactions
- 2022
The isotopic fractionation factor and element partition coefficient can be calculated only after the geometric optimization of the molecular clusters is completed. Optimization directly affects the…
Reverse engineering of ceramic anthropomorphic figurines from the Tumaco archaeological tradition in southwest Colombia
- Materials SciencePloS one
- 2021
Traditional studies of archaeological ceramics in Colombia have been largely based on visual and stylistic analyses. Here we introduce frameworks and concepts of reverse engineering as a…
Intrinsic Elastic Anisotropy of Westerly Granite Observed by Ultrasound Measurements, Microstructural Investigations, and Neutron Diffraction
- GeologyJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
- 2021
Westerly granite (WG) has been generally accepted as an isotropic homogeneous rock. Here, we return to WG and observe significant elastic anisotropy using multidirectional ultrasonic sounding on…

The scientific exploration of Mars is currently being undertaken with the goals: to determine if Mars ever supported life; to understand the past and present climate; and to understand the evolution…
On the elasticities of quartz across the α–β phase transformation
- Materials Science
- 2015
The purpose of this paper is to describe the behavior of the elasticities of quartz across the α–β phase transformation at room pressure. In spite of the known dynamic behavior of quartz, we adhere…
The compression pathway of quartz
- Geology
- 2011
Abstract The structure of quartz over the temperature domain (298 K, 1078 K) and pressure domain (0 GPa, 20.25 GPa) is compared to the following three hypothetical quartz crystals: (1) Ideal α-quartz…
X-ray, DTA and Raman studies of monoclinic tridymite and its higher temperature orthorhombic modification with varying temperature
- Materials Science, Chemistry
- 2005
Unit-cell parameters, Raman scattering profiles and DTA curves were measured on monoclinic tridymite from fired silica brick. Ten peaks appear in the Raman measurements from 100 to 1250 cm at 25°C,…
