Study of melt inclusions in the Nezametnoye corundum deposit, Primorsky region of the Russian Far East: Petrogenetic consequences

Development of graded Ni–YSZ composite coating on Alloy 690 by Pulsed Laser Deposition technique to reduce hazardous metallic nuclear waste inventory

“…In nature, Al 2 O 3 is mostly restricted within silica undersaturated rocks [25,26] and rarely shows any possibility for elemental substitution in its hexagonal structure. In contrast to these, ZrO 2 (baddeleyite) is found to occur within rocks having a wide range of silica saturations [27] and are found to incorporate significant amount of actinides and lanthanides within their cubic fluorite lattice structure.…”

Trace Element and U–Pb Core Age for Zircons from Western Meiganga Gold Placer, Cameroon: Their Genesis and Archean-Proterozoic Sources

“…They are mainly allochthonous in nature, transported and deposited proximally to distally from their source rock [1]. The presence of specific dense and heavy minerals (e.g., zircon, rutile, tourmaline, kyanite, sillimanite, andalusite, and monazite) in placers can be used to track the geological history of the bedrock in the source region [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Zircon in particular plays a prominent role in provenance studies of displaced and accumulated clastic materials [16][17][18].…”
