Aluminium-5% magnesium polycrystals have been deformed in compression at temperatures
between 293 and 773 K at strain rates of between 10 −5 s −1 and 10 −1 s −1 , and the …

Upper mantle peridotite bodies at the earth's surface contain relict structures and microstructures
which provide direct information on the role and the mechanisms of shear localisation …

Recrystallization is a common microstructural transformation that occurs during deformation,
metamorphism and diagenesis of rocks. Studies on minerals and rock analogues have …

The dynamic recrystallisation mechanisms in a magnesium alloy have been investigated
during uniaxial large strain compression at T = 0.7−0.95 T m (T m = melting temperature). …

We report the startling discovery of in situ microdiamonds in a mantle-derived peridotite lens
from Bardane, Fjørtoft, western Norway. Diamonds occur within multiphase solid-inclusion …

Zeolites play a crucial part in acid–base heterogeneous catalysis. Fundamental insight into
their internal architecture is of great importance for understanding their structure–function …

The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis suggests that multiple extraterrestrial airbursts or
impacts resulted in the Younger Dryas cooling, extensive wildfires, megafaunal extinctions and …

The development of recrystallization microstructures has been studied in some ‘hot deformed’
peridotite xenoliths from the Thaba Putsoa Kimberlite pipe in S. Africa. The xenoliths were …

Microstructural and textural investigations by scanning (SEM) and transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) techniques have been performed on samples taken across two quartzo-…

Tomography in a focused ion beam (FIB) scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a powerful
method for the characterization of three‐dimensional micro‐ and nanostructures. Although …
