The discovery of the first chemically produced mass-independent isotope effect in 1983 by
Thiemens & Heidenreich opened a broad variety of applications, including physical …

Study of the isotopic variations of calcium is of interest because Ca is important in
geochemical and biochemical processes, and is one of few major cations in rocks and …

Chondrules are millimeter-sized spherules that dominate primitive meteorites (chondrites)
originating from the asteroid belt. The incorporation of chondrules into asteroidal bodies …

Transient heating events that formed calcium-aluminum–rich inclusions (CAIs) and
chondrules are fundamental processes in the evolution of the solar protoplanetary disk, but …

Multilayer graphene is an exceptional anisotropic material due to its layered structure
composed of two-dimensional carbon lattices. Although the intrinsic mechanical properties …

The lead-lead isochron age of chondrules in the CR chondrite Acfer 059 is 4564.7±0.6
million years ago (Ma), whereas the lead isotopic age of calcium-aluminum–rich inclusions …

The most abundant components of primitive meteorites (chondrites) are millimeter-sized
glassy spherical chondrules formed by transient melting events in the solar protoplanetary …

We present results of a study of the 53Mn-53Cr systematics in various solar system objects:
angrites, eucrites, chondrites, diogenites, pallasites, the Earth and the Moon, and SNC …

We investigate the formation of planetesimals via the gravitational instability of solids that
have settled to the midplane of a circumstellar disk. Vertical shear between the gas and a …

Meteorite research is fundamental to our understanding of the origin and early history of the
Solar System. This book considers the mechanism and timing of core formation and basaltic …
