Asteroidal impacts play an important role in creating new lithology, shaping the morphology, and transporting water to the inner Solar System planets. Massive impact records have been preserved on the Moon; however, exogenous impactors have not been adequately identified in lunar samples. Here we carried out petrological and geochemical investigations on the newly lunar samples returned by Chang'e-6 (CE6) to estimate the source of impactors to the Moon. One spinel-bearing troctolite-like clast was identified in the CE6 soils. This clast displays porphyritic texture and is mainly composed of olivine (32 %), plagioclase (31 %), and mesostasis (34 %) with minor troilite (2 %) and spinel (1 %), and rare Fe-Ni metal, in area%. The sample olivine...

Journal: Journal of Geochemical Exploration

The Xiangzhong Metallogenic Province (XZMP) in southern China hosts the region's most extensive Sb-polymetallic mineralization system, comprising two principal deposit types: Sb-only and Sb-Au-(W). To investigate their genetic distinctions, we conducted in-situ LA-ICP-MS and sulfur isotope analyses on stibnite from the Longkou Sbsingle bondAu deposit in the Shaoyang Basin, and integrated these results with published data from the Xikuangshan, Daocaowan, Woxi, and Banxi deposits. Multivariate statistical analyses (PCA and PLS-DA) of stibnite trace elements reveal systematic geochemical differences between the two deposit types. Sbsingle bondAu deposits (e.g., Longkou, Woxi, Banxi) are enriched in Cu and Pb, whereas Sb-only deposits (e.g., Xi...

The Triassic Lincang granite batholith in southwestern Yunnan, China, hosts numerous granite-related tin deposits. This study investigates the Mengsong tin deposit, located in the southern part of the Lincang batholith, by integrating zircon Usingle bondPb geochronology, Hf isotopic analysis, and trace element geochemistry. Zircon from the Mengsong deposit reveals crystallization ages of 225.5 ± 0.9 Ma (MSWD = 2.3, n = 20) for the muscovite granite and 224.7 ± 0.9 Ma (MSWD = 1.9, n = 25) for the two-mica granite. This indicates that the Mengsong granites was formed during the Triassic period. Zircon trace element signatures indicate that the Mengsong granites are highly fractionated and crystallized from magmas with low oxygen fugacity (�...

Journal: Journal of Geochemical Exploration

This paper investigates the complex magmatic processes of the Boreum magmatic Fe-Ti oxide deposit through comprehensive field observation, petrography, and geochemistry. Located in the marginal zone of the Gyeonggi Massif, central-western Korean Peninsula, this deposit represents one of South Korea's most important Fe-Ti oxide provinces, providing an ideal natural laboratory for understanding ore formation mechanisms. The sill-like Boreum ultramafic rocks (30 m wide, 300 m long) intrude Paleoproterozoic Boreumdo schist and comprise three distinct phases: actinolite-, diopside-, and olivine-dominant. Cross-cut relationships indicate formation through multiple melt injections rather than single-melt fractionation processes. Iron-Ti oxide mine...

Journal: Fuel

One of the main requirements for the safety and certification of an aircraft is its ability to relight under high-altitude conditions, i.e., sub-atmospheric and extremely cold environment. In the combustor, the fuel is introduced in liquid form and atomized into droplets, generating a spray that facilitates evaporation and combustion. Therefore, understanding and mastering the atomization process in a gas turbine combustor is a significant challenge for engine manufacturers. Knowledge of the droplet size and its spatial distribution in the chamber is primordial. According to the literature, spray characteristics have never been reported under high-altitude relight conditions. Therefore, for the first time, this study presents an experimenta...

Journal: Gondwana Research

Paleoproterozoic granitoids of the Buncheon and Hongjesa suites, distributed in the central-eastern Korean Peninsula, were investigated to constrain their petrogenesis, tectonic setting, and metallogenic potential. The Buncheon granitoids exhibit porphyritic textures, whereas the Hongjesa granitoids are equigranular; both are composed mainly of alkali feldspar, plagioclase, microcline, quartz, biotite, and muscovite, with minor opaque minerals. Zircon U-Pb dating indicates that the Hongjesa granitoids crystallized earlier (ca. 1997-1971 Ma) than the Buncheon granitoids (ca. 1980-1967 Ma), implying temporally distinct magmatic pulses during the Early Orosirian. Whole-rock and zircon Lu-Hf isotopic compositions suggest derivation from reworke...

Journal: Gondwana Research

The Ha’il terrane is one of eight terranes that amalgamated in the Neoproterozoic to form the Arabian Shield during the protracted assembly of Gondwana. Large portions of the terrane are composed of plutonic rocks, but the timing and mechanisms of their formation remain poorly constrained. This study presents whole-rock major and trace element concentrations and zircon in-situ U-Pb-Hf isotope data for the Ha’il monzogranite (Dayra suite), Kilab monzogranite (Shuwayman suite), and the Ha’il diorite (enclaved within the Ha’il monzogranite) of the Ha’il terrane. The Ha’il diorite is highly metaluminous, shows I-type affinity, and was emplaced at 650 ± 3 Ma during syn-orogenic magmatism. The Ha’il monzogranite and Kilab monzogran...

The structurally controlled vein-type Oumjrane Cu-(Ni-Pb-Zn-Ba) district (5.7 Mt at 1.5 % Cu) consists of a 25 x 25 km-wide system of steeply dipping ENE- to E-W-trending quartz-sulfide fault veins hosted in a succession of Ordovician low-grade phosphorus-bearing siliciclastic metasedimentary rocks of the first (Upper Darriwilian-Sandbian) and second (Hirnantian) Bani Groups. Based on textural relationships and mineral assemblages, two major sulfide fault-vein infill events are recognized. The early event, which is copper-rich and economically the most productive, consists of chalcopyrite with subordinate gersdorffite (NiAsS) and magnetite, closely intergrown with quartz and apatite-1. The later Pb-Zn-Ba event comprises galena and sphalerit...

Back to Results Recommended Practices in Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) Diagnostics for Electric PropulsionLaser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy uses Doppler-shifted laser photons to excite a bound electron transition in an atom or ion, with subsequent fluorescence emission detected in order to measure the local velocity distribution function (VDF) and/or particle density. Due to its non-invasive nature, high spatial resolution, and acceptable difficulty of implementation, LIF has become a favored diagnostic for electric propulsion (EP) plasmas, particularly in the study of Hall thrusters. This paper presents recommended best practices for LIF measurements in electric thrusters, drawn from over three decades of implementation heri...

Journal: مجلة شمال إفريقيا للنشر العلمي (NAJSP)

The Jabal Fezzan's xenolith has been intruded during Pan-African metamorphism, characterized by (high pressure and medium temperature), this process results in the formation of the biotite, muscovite, and kyanite metamorphic zones. There is a slight increase in the degree of metamorphism as it reaches the biotite zone. It consists of foliated, medium- to coarse-grained schists, mostly biotite, muscovite, and kyanite, additionally plagioclase and quartz, as well as zircon, rutile, and Fe oxides. The microscopical evidence indicates that iron-rich biotite in pelitic schists undergoes a series of chemical reactions that cause it to be formed and transformed into other minerals. P-T diagrams suggest that rocks in the study area might have been ...

Authors: Sun, Y;
Journal: Thesis

The formation of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) is of enormous impact for Earth’s surface, the biosphere and human civilisation due to their connection to continental breakup, mass extinctions, global climatic changes, and the formation of economic mineral deposits. Although the magmatic output of LIP magmatism are usually dominated by mafic flood basalts, significant amounts of rhyolites and phonolites are also present in many LIPs. The upper crustal reservoirs in which these evolved magmas differentiate are, however, rarely exposed. The Damaraland igneous province in central to NW Namibia comprises at least 13 intrusive complexes which emplaced during the Early Cretaceous as part of the Paraná-Etendeka LIP and provide the rare opportun...

Thermodynamic Model For Tourmaline

Authors: Roozen, S;
Journal: Thesis

Tourmaline, XY₃Z₆T₆O₁₈(BO₃)₃V₃W, is a common borosilicate in crustal settings, recording phase relationships with minerals, fluids, and melts across tectonic environments. Its diverse sites enable elemental incorporation, while stability and low diffusivity preserve zoning, which is crucial for reconstructing PTX histories. Accurate interpretation requires a thermodynamic model, which this thesis develops through crystal-chemical and calorimetric measurements.A tourmaline set of ~50 natural and synthetic samples was assembled within the Na-Ca-B-Fe²⁺-Fe³⁺-Mg-Al-Si-Ti-OHF system. Natural samples capture real-world variability, while synthetic samples reduce multicollinearity. Tourmalines were characterized by EMPA (main ...

Mass Spectrometry Methods to Image and Quantify the Extracellular Matrix

Authors: Rampal, A;
Journal: Thesis

The identity, quantity, and spatial distributions of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in tissues defines the function of cells within. Dysregulation of the ECM proteins can be coincident with or even drive various pathological conditions. Thus, it is important to study the spatial distributions and quantities of ECM proteins in real tissues as well as in ECM-inspired models. However, traditional techniques such as immunohistochemistry limit identification to few different proteins simultaneously and are not quantitative. To address this, we developed matrixassisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) to enhance ECM protein detection in native tissues. Although MALDI-MSI is widely used for imaging various mol...
