It is the first mineral species that includes both Mn and Mo as essential constituents. Iseite is iron-black in color and has a submetallic luster. It occurs as ag- gregates up to about 1 mm in size made of minute crystals (<20 μm). Iseite has a zoned structure closely associ- ated with undetermined Mn-Fe-Mo oxide minerals with hexagonal forms, and it occasionally coexists with 3 small amounts of powellite. Its Mohs hardness is 4-5, and its calculated density is 5.85 g/cm . The empirical formula of iseite is (Mn1.787Fe0.193)Σ1.980Mo3.010O8. Its simplified ideal formula is written as Mn2Mo3O8. The min- eral is isostructural with kamiokite (hexagonal, P63mc). The unit cell parameters are a = 5.8052 (3) Å, c = 10.2277 (8) Å, V = 298.50 (4) Å3, and Z = 2.

Iseite occurs as aggregates up to about 1 mm in size of minute crystals, whilst the single crystals are anhedral and are several microns to 20 μm in size. Iseite has a zoned texture closely associated with undetermined Mn-Fe-Mo oxide minerals with hexagonal forms, and it occasionally coexists with small amounts of powellite. Iseite and mo- lybdenite rarely coexist (Fig. 1d), but their individual ag- gregates are common. PHYSICAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES Iseite is iron-black in color with black streak and subme- tallic luster. It appears light yellowish grey in color under reflected light with no internal reflections. Pleochroism is medium, ranging from pale grey to yellowish grey. An- isotropy is medium to strong, grey to pale grey.

The XRD pattern was obtained using the homoge- neous micro sample (~ 100 μm) of the iseite aggregate, the Mn-richer sample (Table 2-1).

In either case, Mn dominates Fe. The empirical for- mulae for samples of iseite existing as single-phase ag- gregates and coexisting with other aggregates are (Mn1.787Fe0.193)Σ1.980Mo3.010O8 and (Mn1.540Fe0.508)Σ2.048 Mo2.976O8 on the basis of O = 8, respectively, leading a simplified formula as (Mn,Fe)2Mo3O8. The ideal formula, Mn2Mo3O8, requires MnO 26.99 wt% and MoO2 73.01 wt%, for a total of 100.00 wt%. The chemical data of undetermined Mn-Fe-Mo ox- ide minerals can be divided into two compositions: (Fe,Mn)6Mo5O16 and (Mn,Fe)MoO3 (Table 2).

  • Design Rules for Discovering 2D Materials from 3D Crystals
    Design Rules for Discovering 2D Materials from 3D Crystals by Eleanor Lyons Brightbill Collaborators: Tyler W. Farnsworth, Adam H. Woomer, Patrick C. O'Brien, Kaci L. Kuntz Senior Honors Thesis Chemistry University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 7th, 2016 Approved: ___________________________ Dr Scott Warren, Thesis Advisor Dr Wei You, Reader Dr. Todd Austell, Reader Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials are championed as potential components for novel technologies due to the extreme change in properties that often accompanies a transition from the bulk to a quantum-confined state. While the incredible properties of existing 2D materials have been investigated for numerous applications, the current library of stable 2D materials is limited to a relatively small number of material systems, and attempts to identify novel 2D materials have found only a small subset of potential 2D material precursors. Here I present a rigorous, yet simple, set of criteria to identify 3D crystals that may be exfoliated into stable 2D sheets and apply these criteria to a database of naturally occurring layered minerals. These design rules harness two fundamental properties of crystals—Mohs hardness and melting point—to enable a rapid and effective approach to identify candidates for exfoliation. It is shown that, in layered systems, Mohs hardness is a predictor of inter-layer (out-of-plane) bond strength while melting point is a measure of intra-layer (in-plane) bond strength. This concept is demonstrated by using liquid exfoliation to produce novel 2D materials from layered minerals that have a Mohs hardness less than 3, with relative success of exfoliation (such as yield and flake size) dependent on melting point.

    Mineralogical Magazine (2021), 85, 291–320 doi:10.1180/mgm.2021.43 Article IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols Laurence N. Warr* Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, 17487 Greifswald, Germany Abstract Several text symbol lists for common rock-forming minerals have been published over the last 40 years, but no internationally agreed standard has yet been established. This contribution presents the first International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) approved collection of 5744 mineral name abbreviations by combining four methods of nomenclature based on the Kretz symbol approach. The collection incorporates 991 previously defined abbreviations for mineral groups and species and presents a further 4753 new symbols that cover all currently listed IMA minerals. Adopting IMA– CNMNC approved symbols is considered a necessary step in standardising abbreviations by employing a system compatible with that used for symbolising the chemical elements. Keywords: nomenclature, mineral names, symbols, abbreviations, groups, species, elements, IMA, CNMNC (Received 28 November 2020; accepted 14 May 2021; Accepted Manuscript published online: 18 May 2021; Associate Editor: Anthony R Kampf) Introduction used collection proposed by Whitney and Evans (2010).

  • Hybrid Improper Ferroelectricity and Magnetoelectric Effects in Complex Oxides
    HYBRID IMPROPER FERROELECTRICITY AND MAGNETOELECTRIC EFFECTS IN COMPLEX OXIDES BY YAZHONG WANG A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Physics and Astronomy Written under the direction of Sang-Wook Cheong and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hybrid improper ferroelectricity and magnetoelectric effects in complex oxides by Yazhong Wang Dissertation Director: Sang-Wook Cheong This thesis contains several investigations of ferroelectricity and magnetoelectric effects in complex oxides. We start by reviewing the history and mechanisms of ferroelectricity and multiferroics, then give a brief introduction to proper ferroelectricity, improper ferroelectric- ity, hybrid improper ferroelectricity and polar magnets. In the hybrid improper ferroelec- 0 tricity section, several major systems are explained in detail including (AA )B2O6 double 0 perovskites, (ABO3)2=AO Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase and A (AB2O7) Dion-Jacobson (DJ) phase. Next, our investigations are divided into two parts. The first half focuses on the study of ferroelectricity and domain wall ( ferroelectric vs. ferroelastic, charged vs. non- charged) motion in Sr3Sn2O7 system (n=2, RP phase). We discover that layered Sr3Sn2O7 exhibits switchable polarization at room temperature, demonstrating that Sr3Sn2O7 is the first room-temperature insulating ferroelectric containing Sn4+. The in situ poling results on Sr3Sn2O7 using focused electron beams in transmission electron microscopy unveil the intriguing ferroelectric domain switching kinetics: ferroelectric noncharged domain walls move fast while ferroelectric charged domain walls do not move, probably due to octahedral rotation switching is easier along the c − axis.

Box LG 58, Legon-Accra, Ghana Abstract One of the most largest known and important metallogenic provinces in China is East Tianshan, where seven major types of Late Paleozoic metal deposits have been recognized: (1) porphyry-type Cu-Mo-(Au) ore deposit, (2) volcanic Fe-Cu deposit, (3) orogenic lode gold deposit, (4) magmatic Cu-Ni sulfide deposit, (5) epithermal gold deposit, (6) volcanic hydrothermal Cu deposit, and (7) skarn Cu-Ag deposit. Tectonically, the development of these Late Paleozoic metal mineral deposits was closely associated with the subduction and closure of the ancient Tianshan Ocean intervening between the Tarim craton and the Junggar-Kazakhstan block. In the Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous, the northern margin of the Tarim craton existed as a passive-type continental margin, whereas the ancient Tianshan ocean was subducted beneath the southern margin of the Junggar-Kazakhstan block, resulting in the formation of the Dananhu-Tousuquan magmatic arc and associated porphyry-type Cu-Mo-(Au) deposits.
