A partially recrystallized sample of the Ni-based superalloy AD730 was taken from an intermediate stage ingot to billet conversion process and isothermally forged in a single stroke compression test at sub-solvus temperature (1080 °C). The as-received material had heterogeneous microstructure, containing mixture coarse much finer grains as well unrecrystallized ones, also γ′ precipitation. recr...

The zircon record of complex high-grade gneiss terrains is key to interpreting their tectonothermal evolution. Typically, such studies focus on zircon-rich, felsic rocks, which commonly have a complicated (partial melting, inheritance, partial dissolution, and reprecipitation) record. Here we show that metamorphosed mafic rocks retained melts (i.e. in situ leucosomes) provide the evolution crus...

A hydrothermal doublet system was drilled in a fault-related granitic reservoir Cornwall. It targets the Porthtowan Fault Zone (PTF), which transects Carnmenellis granite, one of onshore plutons Cornubian Batholith SW England. At 5058 m depth (TVD, 5275 MD) up to 190 °C were reached dedicated production well. The injection well is aligned vertically above and reaches 2393 MD. As part design pro...

In the field of perovskite solar cells, explorations new lead-free all-inorganic materials are great interest to address instability and toxicity issues lead-based hybrid perovskites. Recently, copper-antimony-based double have been reported with ideal band gaps, which possess potential as absorbers for photovoltaic applications. Here, we synthesize Cs 2 CuSbCl 6 nanocrystals (DPNCs) at ambient...

Precipitation recycling, defined as that precipitation in a region is partially contributed by evapotranspiration from the same region, interaction between terrestrial hydrology and atmospheric processes, plays crucial role forming water resources. For agricultural lands, of irrigation alters local climate reprecipitation surrounding regions, which can also be analyzed viewpoint recycling. As l...

Zinc is currently extracted from sphalerite (ZnS) by either sintering-smelting or roasting-leaching. These high-temperature processes produce environmentally hazardous sulfur dioxide gas. Hence, sustainable zinc extraction calls for direct leaching at low temperatures. Here, we show that ferric methanesulfonate a high performing lixiviant this purpose. Using 0.8 M methanesulfonate, 99.3% Zn was...

The welding of materials by applying Friction Stir Welding technique is a new solid-state joining technique. The main advantage of this method compared to the traditional joining process is that it minimizes problem-related to metal resolidification as the method incorporates no melting phase. In this experimental work, the effect of friction stir welding (FSW) technique on the microstructu...

The Tsäkkok Lens of the Seve Nappe Complex in Scandinavian Caledonides comprises eclogite bodies hosted within metasedimentary rocks. These rocks are thought to be derived from outermost margin Baltica along periphery Iapetus Ocean, but detrital records sedimentary lacking.Many outcrops lens expose both well-foliated metapelitic and massive calc-silicates. contacts between these two lithologies...

Seawater pollution caused by heavy metal ions is a growing concern among the public. Perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) are ideal probes for detecting due to their exceptional sensing characteristics, including remarkable sensitivity, low detection limit, and good selectivity. However, traditional lead-based PeQDs exhibit drawbacks related lead toxicity poor water stability. Herein, lead-free hali...

Cadmium (Cd) isotopes have great potential for understanding Cd geochemical cycling in soil and aquatic systems. Iron (oxyhydr)oxides can sequester via adsorption isomorphous substitution, but how these interactions affect isotope fractionation remains unknown. Here, we show that preferentially enriches lighter on iron (oxyhydr)oxide surfaces through equilibrium fractionation, with a similar ma...
