In more recent times, humanity has transformed the planet Earth to such a point that it threatens the production by the natural world of goods and services on which the same humanity is dependent. These environmental changes have undergone considerable acceleration in the course of the twentieth century. Man’s activity has pushed the earth system beyond the boundaries of its natural functioning...

The mining of material resources requires knowledge about geogenic and anthropogenic deposits, in particular on the location of the deposits with the comparatively highest concentration of raw materials. In this study, we develop a framework that allows the establishment of analogies between geological and anthropogenic processes. These analogies were applied to three selected products containi...

Mixed-valence phenomena associated with the highly correlated narrow-band behaviour of the 4f electrons in rare earths are well documented for a variety of rare-earth chalcogenides, borides and intermetallics (Kondo insulators and heavy fermions). The family of rare-earth fullerides with stoichiometry RE2.75C60 (RE=Sm, Yb, Eu) also displays an analogous phenomenology and a remarkable sensitivit...
