In principle, designing and synthesizing almost any class of colloidal crystal is possible.
Nonetheless, the deliberate and rational formation of colloidal quasicrystals has been …

Quartz veins in the Eastern Tonale mylonite zone (Italian Alps) were deformed in strike-slip
shear. Due to the synkinematic emplacement of the Adamello Pluton, a temperature gradient …

Processes involved in the development of igneous and metamorphic rocks involve some
combination of crystal growth, solution, movement and deformation, which is expressed as …

High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT) provides detailed imagery of the
interiors of rocks up to hand-sample size, non-destructively and in three dimensions. New …

The intercept method is a convenient, yet powerful method for the numerical analysis of
fabrics. For geological applications it can be used when a set of objects (eg pores, grains or …

Quartzite samples experimentally sheared at conditions where subgrain rotation and grain
boundary migration recrystallization are active show a striking change in the c axis …

The rheological, microstructural and textural evolution of Carrara marble was studied during
experimental deformation in torsion up to very large shear strains (γ= 0.4–50). Experiments …

Granites are emblematic rocks developed from a magma that crystallized in the Earth's crust.
They ultimately outcrop at the surface of every continent. This book-translated, edited, and …

New methods are presented that allow high-resolution X-ray computed tomography
(HRXCT) to be utilized for imaging and measuring the effective porosity field of …

In this paper, the validity of the application of an autocorrelation function for resolving some
surface topography measurement problems was presented. Various types of surfaces were …
