The primary volatile 'rock-forming'minerals in the icy satellites of the outer solar system
include water-ice and various hydrated crystals of methane and ammonia. The rich …

The lattice constants of hydrogenated and deuterated CH 4-, CO 2-, Xe-(clathrate structure
type I) and N 2-hydrates (clathrate structure type II) from 10 K up to the stability limit were …

Deliquescence is a first-order phase transition, happening when a salt absorbs water vapor.
This has a major impact on the stability of crystalline powders that are important for example …

Our numerical modelling of the Czochralski growth of single crystalline β-Ga 2 O 3 crystals
(monoclinic symmetry) starts at the 2D heat transport analysis within the crystal growth …

One of the clearest but unresolved questions for Europa is the thickness of its icy shell.
Europa's surface is resplendent with geological features that bear on this question, and …

Reverse osmosis and membrane crystallization are evaluated in this work as stand-alone
and integrated technologies for the recovery of Na 2 SO 4 from aqueous solutions. When SO …

The eutectic is fundamental to multicomponent systems, defining the lowest temperature at
which a given liquid phase is stable. Although binary aqueous eutectics have been broadly …

Melting behaviour of inorganic hydrated salts plays an important role in their application as
phase change energy storage materials. Particularly, the phase transition temperature and …

The thermoelastic properties of a sample of chalcopyrite from the Palabora mine, South
Africa, have been investigated in the temperature range 4.2–330 K at ambient pressure, and …

A number of DFT programs with various combinations of pseudo-potentials and van der
Waals' dispersive corrections have been used to optimize the structure of sodium …
