Quartz chemistry of granitic pegmatites: Implications for classification, genesis and exploration
(Elsevier, 2021-12-05)[EN]Quartz from 254 pegmatites representing eight pegmatite fields and provinces worldwide was investigated by laser-ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to determine concentrations of trace ... -
Radiological characterisation in view of nuclear reactor decommissioning: On-site benchmarking exercise of a biological shield
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-04-28)[EN] Nearly all decommissioning and dismantling (D&D) projects are steered by the characterisation of the plant being dismantled. This radiological characterisation is a complex process that is updated and modified during ... -
Rational design of an unusual 2D-MOF based on Cu(I) and 4-hydroxypyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as linker with conductive capabilities: a theoretical approach based on high-pressure XRD
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-08-25)Herein, we present, for the first time, a 2D-MOF based on copper and 4-hydroxypyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as the linker. Each MOF layer is perfectly flat and neutral, as is the case for graphene. High pressure X-ray diffraction ... -
Real space manifestations of coherent screening in atomic scale Kondo lattices
(Nature Publishing, 2019-06-17)The interaction among magnetic moments screened by conduction electrons drives quantum phase transitions between magnetically ordered and heavy-fermion ground states. Here, starting from isolated magnetic impurities in the ... -
