Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

The detection of vertical fractures using seismic methods is crucial for characterizing shale gas reservoirs. When vertical fractures are aligned within a vertically transverse isotropic (VTI) shale ...

Eshelby tensors serve as the basis of micromechanics which should be explored first to study the effective mechanical behavior of heterogeneous materials. In this paper, the Eshelby tensor is ...

In an article by Szwacki et al. recently published in J. Phys. Chem C, the authors reported new theoretical calculations and experimental data and concluded that rutile TiO 2, in contrast to what is ...

Starting with an orthorhombic inorganic CsPbI 3 structure, a supercell of CsPb(I 1–x Br x) 3 and CsPb(Br 1–x Cl x) 3 was created. The iodide was gradually replaced by an appropriate x concentration of ...

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

Its crystal structure is orthorhombic, meaning that the right angles of the cubes have unequal axes. For post-perovskite crystals to align with each other, the axes all have to be in the same ...

Earth’s innards are rumbling, and it’s not indigestion. The D” layer—located between layers of magma above and the liquid rock of the outer core below—has been mystifying scientists for decades. This ...
