This review summarises the state-of-the-art of lead-based pigment studies, addressing their
production, trade, use and possible alteration. Other issues, such as those related to the …

High-throughput first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) are a
powerful tool in data-oriented materials research. The choice of approximation to the …

U–Pb geochronology of shocked monazite can be used to date hypervelocity impact events.
Impact-induced recrystallisation and formation of mechanical twins in monazite have been …

Studying the effect of high pressure (exceeding 10 kbar) on the structure of solids allows us
to gain deeper insight into the mechanism governing crystal structure stability. Here, we …

The density evolution of the physical properties of the transition-metal oxide RuO 2 coupled
with a deeper understanding of underlying metastable phases is necessary for correlating …

The soluble lead flow battery (SLFB) is a promising energy storage system. In comparison to
conventional flow batteries, the membrane-less and single-flow design of SLFBs is …

As the only half-metallic ferromagnetic material in 3d transition metal dioxides, CrO2 has
attracted great scientific interest from materials science to physical chemistry. Here, an …

The compression behavior of crystalline and amorphous germania holds considerable
interest as an analog for silica and for understanding the structural response of AX 2 …

The first principles study of the crystal structure, chemical bonds, elastic and mechanical
properties, electron energy band structure and density, and normal long-wave vibrations of …

Lead fluoride, Pb F 2, was investigated experimentally in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell
by x-ray diffraction to pressures of 75 GPa at room temperature and to 64.5 GPa and 2430 K …
