  • IMA Master List
    The New IMA List of Minerals – A Work in Progress – Update: February 2013 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). Chemical formula: it is the CNMNC-approved formula. 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.

  • 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.

  • Geochemical Constraints on the Element Enrichments of Microbially Mediated Manganese and Iron Ores – an Overview
    Ore Geology Reviews 136 (2021) 104203 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Ore Geology Reviews journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/oregeorev Geochemical constraints on the element enrichments of microbially mediated manganese and iron ores – An overview Marta´ Polgari´ a,b,*, Ildiko´ Gyollai a a Institute for Geological and Geochemical Research, Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences, ELRN, Budapest, Hungary b Eszterhazy´ Karoly´ University, Dept. of Natural Geography and Geoinformatics, Eger, Hungary ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The role of biogenicity in the mineral world is larger than many might assume. Biological processes interact with Biomineralization physical and chemical processes at the Earth’s surface and far below underground, leading to the formation, for Cell mineralization instance, of banded iron formations and manganese deposits. Microbial mats can form giant sedimentary ore EPS mineralization deposits, which also include enrichment of further elements. Microorganisms play a basic role in catalyzing Ore-forming processes of Fe- and Mn geochemical processes of the Earth and in the control, regularization and leading of cycles of elements. Microbial Diagenesis mats and other biosignatures can be used as indicators for environmental reconstruction in geological samples. This article reviews the many ways that microbially controlled or mediated processes contribute to minerali­ zation and examines some published case studies for clues of what might have been missed in the analysis of sedimentary rocks when biogenicity was not taken into account. Suggestions are made for tests and analyses that will allow the potential role of biomineralization to be investigated in order to obtain a more complete view of formation processes and their implications.

  • A New Occurrence of Yimengite-Hawthorneite and Crichtonite-Group Minerals in An
    26 A new occurrence of yimengite-hawthorneite and crichtonite-group minerals in an 27 orthopyroxenite from kimberlite: Implications for mantle metasomatism 1,* 1 1 28 Dmitriy I. Rezvukhin , Taisia A. Alifirova , Andrey V. Korsakov , Alexander V. 1 29 Golovin 1 30 Sobolev Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy 31 of Sciences, 3 Koptyuga Avenue, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia 32 *corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 33 34 ABSTRACT 35 LILE-enriched chromium titanates of the magnetoplumbite (AM12O19) and crichtonite 36 (ABC18T2O38) groups were recognized as abundant inclusions in orthopyroxene grains in a 37 mantle-derived xenolith from the Udachnaya-East kimberlite pipe, Daldyn field, Siberian craton. 38 The studied xenolith consists of three parts: an orthopyroxenite, a garnet clinopyroxenite, and a 39 garnet-orthopyroxene intermediate domain between the two. Within the host enstatite (Mg# 40 92.6) in the orthopyroxenitic part of the sample titanate inclusions are associated with Cr-spinel, 41 diopside, rutile, Mg-Cr-ilmenite, and pentlandite. Crichtonite-group minerals also occur as 42 lamellae inclusions in pyrope grains of the intermediate domain adjacent to the orthopyroxenite, 43 as well as in interstitial to enstatite oxide intergrowths together with Cr-spinel, rutile, and 44 ilmenite. 45 Yimengite-hawthorneite inclusions in enstatite contain (wt%) 3.72-8.04 BaO, 2.05-3.43 46 K2O, and 0.06-0.48 CaO. Their composition is transitional between yimengite and hawthorneite 47 endmembers with most grains exhibiting K-dominant chemistry. A distinct feature of the studied 48 yimengite-hawthorneite minerals is a high content of Al2O3 (5.74-7.69 wt%).

Sul, 2291, CEP 50770-011, Recife, PE, Brazil Received 01 April 2014; accepted 05 July2014 Abstract: Alkali-bearing Ti oxides were identified in mantle xenoliths enclosed in kimberlite-like rocks from Limeira 1 alkaline intrusion from the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province, southeastern Brazil. The metasomatic mineral assemblages include mathiasite-loveringite and priderite associated with clinopyroxene, phlogopite, ilmenite and rutile. Mathiasite-loveringite (55-60 wt.% TiO2; 5.2-6.7 wt.% ZrO2) occurs in peridotite xenoliths rimming chromite (∼50 wt.% Cr2O3) and subordinate ilmenite (12-13.4 wt.% MgO) in double reaction rim coronas. Priderite (Ba/(K+Ba)< 0:05) occurs in phlogopite-rich xenoliths as lamellae within Mg-ilmenite (8.4-9.8 wt.% MgO) or as intergrowths in rutile crystals that may be included in sagenitic phlogopite. Mathiasite-loveringite was formed by reaction of peridotite primary minerals with alkaline melts. The priderite was formed by reaction of peridotite minerals with ultrapotassic melts.
