An understanding of chemical bonding and electronic structure in sulfide minerals is central
to any attempt at understanding their crystal structures, stabilities and physical properties. It …

Room temperature investigations on the shear strength, elastic moduli, elastic anisotropy,
and deformation mechanisms of MgO (periclase) are performed in situ up to pressures of 47 …

Due to its abundance and characteristic bulk and surface properties, pyrite (FeS2) plays a
role in numerous geochemical, environmental, and technological processes. For example …

We report micro-Raman spectroscopic studies of FeS2 pyrite in the diamond-anvil cell under
hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic conditions to 55 GPa at room temperature. Four out of five …

Experiments on iron with recently developed high-pressure techniques are providing new
insights into the nature of the Earth's core. In situ high PT synchrotron x-ray diffraction …

First-principles calculations were carried out to study the phase stability and thermoelectric
properties of the naturally occurring marcasite phase of FeS2 at ambient conditions as well …

The velocity-porosity relationship depends on many factors such as grain shape, sorting,
chemical composition, and diagenesis processes. Fluids always occupy the pore space and …

The Bakken Petroleum System in the Williston Basin consists of three main members: Upper
Bakken Shale (UB), Middle Bakken (MB), and Lower Bakken Shale (LB). The Middle Bakken …

Pyrite is the most common sulfide in the Earth. In the presence of arsenopyrite its oxidation is
delayed, and instead, the arsenopyrite increases its oxidation rate, releasing As (III) and As …

Following the discovery of high-entropy alloys, high-entropy oxides have gained
considerable interest due to their unconventional structural characteristics and versatile …
