The Soret effect describes diffusive motion that originates from a temperature gradient. It is
observed in mixtures of gases, liquids and even solids. Although there is a formal …

Layered intrusions are fossilized natural laboratories that historically have constrained many
fundamental principles of igneous petrology. Layered intrusions are typically stratiform …

Platinum-group element (PGE) deposits in the Bushveld Complex and other layered
intrusions form when large, incompletely solidified magma chambers undergo central …

The formation of platy olivine spinifex, the texture that characterizes komatiite lavas, has long
been enigmatic. A major problem is that the dendritic morphology of the olivine resembles …

Abstract The Paleoproterozoic Monchegorsk Complex, located in the Russian part of the
Fennoscandian Shield, constitutes one of the largest mafic-ultramafic layered intrusions in …

The Sept Iles layered intrusion (Quebec, Canada) is dominated by a basal Layered Series
made up of troctolites and gabbros, and by anorthosites occurring (1) at the roof of the …

A vast portion of the plumbing system of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province (STLIP)
is emplaced in the Tunguska Basin, where borehole data reveal ubiquitous and abundant …

Abstract The Nova-Bollinger Ni-Cu sulfide ore deposit is the first economic Ni-Cu-Co sulfide
deposit to have been discovered in the Albany-Fraser orogen in Western Australia. The host …

Background and objective Nanofluids possess significant enhancement in nanomaterial
properties such as convective heat transfer coefficient, thermal conductivity (which increases …

An attempt is made to develop an in situ crystallization model based on the concept of Soret
fractionation to explain the origin of commonly observed S-, D-, and I-shaped compositional …
