IMA Master List The New IMA List of Minerals – A Work in Progress – Updated: November 2015 In the following pages of this document a comprehensive list of all valid mineral species is presented. The list is distributed (for terms and conditions see below) via the web site of the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association, which is the organization in charge for approval of new minerals, and more in general for all issues related to the status of mineral species. The list, which will be updated on a regular basis, is intended as the primary and official source on minerals. Explanation of column headings: Name : it is the presently accepted mineral name (and in the table, minerals are sorted by name). CNMMN/CNMNC approved formula : it is the chemical formula of the mineral. IMA status : A = approved (it applies to minerals approved after the establishment of the IMA in 1958); G = grandfathered (it applies to minerals discovered before the birth of IMA, and generally considered as valid species); Rd = redefined (it applies to existing minerals which were redefined during the IMA era); Rn = renamed (it applies to existing minerals which were renamed during the IMA era); Q = questionable (it applies to poorly characterized minerals, whose validity could be doubtful). IMA No. / Year : for approved minerals the IMA No. is given: it has the form XXXX-YYY, where XXXX is the year and YYY a sequential number; for grandfathered minerals the year of the original description is given. In some cases, typically for Rd and Rn minerals, the year may be followed by s.p. (special procedure): it refers to the year in which a specific action (redefinition and/or renaming) took place, and was approved by IMA. This may be related to the approval of a report by a dedicated subcommittee on a given group of minerals. Country : it is the country in which the mineral was discovered for the first time (according to the national boundaries as of today). First reference : it is the original reference for each mineral. Second reference : it is the most recent or most complete reference for each mineral, possibly including a crystal structure study. Caveat (IMPORTANT): the list includes selected information on the 5091 currently valid species; inevitably there will be mistakes in it. We will be grateful to all those who will point out errors of any kind, including typos. Please email your corrections to [email protected] .

Volume 48. 162 pages, 128 photos, drawings and schemes. Publication of Institution of Russian Academy of Sciences, Fersman Mineralogical Museum RAS. This volume contains description of laptevite-(Ce), a new vicanite group mineral found in the Darai-Pioz alkaline massif, rare minerals of the baratovite-katayamalite solid solution from the Khodzha-Achkan alkaline massif in Kirgizia, listvenite-like phlogopite-magnesite gumbeites of the Berezovsky gold deposit in the Urals, polycrys- talline diamond aggregates from the Lomonosov deposit in the Arkhangelsk diamond province, and gypsum seg- regations from the bottom of the Okhotsk and Japan Seas. The results of fine investigation of trace elements in the crystal structure of molybdenite and experimental modeling of Pt and Pd sulfide crystallization during cooling in the central part of the Cu-Fe-S system are given. Separate section is devoted to 150th anniversary of the birth of V.I. Vernadsky. It contains papers about geo- chemical mineralogy of V.I. Vernadsky, his activity in nuclear power, and mineralogical taxonomies suggested by V.I. Vernadsky, J.D. Dana, A.G. Betekhtin, I.N. Kostov, G.P. Barsanov, and A.A. Godovikov. In the section Mineralogical Museums and Collections, the first information on products of Chinese stone-cut art in the collection of the Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences, brief historical review of the collection of diamond crystals of the same museum, and detail information on the new acquisitions in the muse- um in 2011–2012 are given.

  • STRONG and WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS of TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS and THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth a Dissertati
    STRONG AND WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS AND THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Scott C. Warren James F. Cahoon Wei You Joanna M. Atkin Matthew K. Brennaman © 2018 Tyler William Farnsworth ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Tyler William Farnsworth: Strong and weak interlayer interactions of two-dimensional materials and their assemblies (Under the direction of Scott C. Warren) The ability to control the properties of a macroscopic material through systematic modification of its component parts is a central theme in materials science. This concept is exemplified by the assembly of quantum dots into 3D solids, but the application of similar design principles to other quantum-confined systems, namely 2D materials, remains largely unexplored. Here I demonstrate that solution-processed 2D semiconductors retain their quantum-confined properties even when assembled into electrically conductive, thick films. Structural investigations show how this behavior is caused by turbostratic disorder and interlayer adsorbates, which weaken interlayer interactions and allow access to a quantum- confined but electronically coupled state. I generalize these findings to use a variety of 2D building blocks to create electrically conductive 3D solids with virtually any band gap. I next introduce a strategy for discovering new 2D materials. Previous efforts to identify novel 2D materials were limited to van der Waals layered materials, but I demonstrate that layered crystals with strong interlayer interactions can be exfoliated into few-layer or monolayer materials.

    Characterization and Formation of High-Chroma Features in Loamy Soils of Southern Minnesota A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Douglas Wayne Pribyl IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY James C. Bell, Adviser December 2012 © Douglas Wayne Pribyl 2012 Acknowledgements Many people both inside and outside the University of Minnesota have helped make this dissertation possible. The Department of Soil, Water, and Climate has supported me in many ways not least of which was the office staff, who were always ready with a friendly greeting, and willing and able to solve any problem: Karen Mellem, Kari Jarcho, Jenny Brand, and Marjorie Bonse. I especially want to thank my adviser, Jay Bell, for his continuous enthusiasm and encouragement. Ed Nater, together with Jay Bell, is responsible for introducing me to soil genesis and enabling me to pursue the interest they created. The rest of my committee, Paul Bloom and Carrie Jennings, have provided inspiration and motivation. Terry Cooper and John Lamb imparted wisdom and confidence in ways that only the best teachers can. I am profoundly grateful to have been their teaching assistant. Parts of this work were carried out in the Characterization Facility, University of Minnesota, which receives partial support from NSF through the MRSEC program. A special thanks to the staff who trained, listened, suggested, and encouraged: Bob Hafner, Ozan Ugurlu, Jinping Dong, John Nelson, Alice Ressler, Maria Torija Juana, Fang Zhou, and Nicholas Seaton. My earliest microscopy imaging and analysis work was with Gib Ahlstrand at the Biological Imaging Center, now part of the University Imaging Centers at the University of Minnesota.

Belakovskiy Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, [email protected] Eight hundred and seventy-seven mineral specimens representing 488 mineral species from 59 countries, Antarctica, the oceanic floor, and space were catalogued into six collections of the main fund of the Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences, during 2011 and 2012. Among them, 160 mineral species were previously absent in the museum collection. Eighty-five of the new species are represented by type speci- mens (holotypes, co-types, or their fragments) of which twenty-seven minerals species were discovered by Museum staff members or with their participation. Of the new specimens, 645 (74%) were donated by 151 private persons and 3 organizations, including 104 (85 species) type specimens. The museum staff collected 85 items (10%).
