Owing to their high conductivity, crystalline Li7-3xGaxLa3Zr2O12 garnets are promising electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Herein, the influence of Ga doping on the phase, lithium-ion distribution, and conductivity of Li7-3xGaxLa3Zr2O12 garnets is investigated, with the determined concentration and mobility of lithium ions shedding light on the origin of the high conductivit...

Geochemical profiles across chemically altered zones (selvages) surrounding amphibolite facies quartz+kyanite veins were investigated to determine major, minor, and trace element mass transfer and volume strain due to channelized fluid flow. The three profiles are perpendicular to two veins cutting the Wepawaug Schist, Connecticut, U.S.A., which underwent Barrovian-style metamorphism during the...

Textural, major element and trace element data for xeno-liths from Salt Lake Crater, Hawaii indicate that typical four phase lherzolite inclusions (olivine, orthopyroxene, chrome diopside and spinel) found worldwide in basalts are not samples of primitive upper mantle. Rather, lherzolite may be the recrystallized residue left after a basaltic melt extracts the easily fused components from pre-e...

Abstract Magnetic refrigeration around the liquid-helium temperature plays a critical role in many technological sectors. Even if gallium gadolinium garnet (GGG) has been regarded as benchmark, its application is highly limited by small magnetic entropy changes, requirement of superconducting magnets, and large device sizes. Here, we report that LiREF 4 (RE = rare earth) single crystals exhibit...

Recent studies argue that subduction-modified, Cu-fertilized lithosphere controls the formation of porphyry Cu deposits in orogenic belts. However, it is unclear if and how this fertilization process operates at cratonic edges, where numerous large non-arc Au-rich deposits form. Here we report data from lower crustal amphibolite and garnet amphibolite xenoliths hosted by Cenozoic stocks that ar...

Empirical tests of oxygen exchange rate in zircon crystals from amphiboliteand granulite-facies metamorphic rocks of the Grenville Province demonstrate preservation of igneous dO through protracted igneous and metamorphic histories, forming the basis of quantitative estimates of diffusion rate. Granitic orthogneisses, which cooled slowly after granulite-facies metamorphism, show no consistent r...

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of latanoprost for the prevention of ocular hypertension after neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser posterior capsulotomy. Methods: Fifty six eyes of 56 consecutive patients receiving neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification were randomized to group 1, who received 1 drop of latanoprost 0.005%, or to group 2, who r...
