This review systematically presents all finds of geogenic, impact-induced, and
extraterrestrial iron silicide minerals known at the end of 2021. The respective morphological …

The easternmost Mediterranean is a distinct transition zone from the ocean to the continent
located at the junction between the largest Earth's lithospheric segments: Eurasian and …

This paper proposes a method for the rapid detection of subsurface damage (SSD) of SiC
using atmospheric inductivity coupled plasma. As a plasma etching method operated at …

Recently a number of reports claimed enigmatic appearance of high-pressure and super-
reduced minerals in ophiolitic chromitite and peridotite. Diamond, moissanite, various metal …

The origin of the assemblage of ultra-high pressure (UHP), super-reduced (SuR) and
several crustally derived phases in ophiolitic chromitites is still hotly debated. In this paper …

Corundum with inclusions of enigmatic super-reduced minerals was found in mineral
separates received as a result of alluvial sediment exploration near Mt Carmel, Israel by the …

SiC was densified by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and the effects of surface modification of
the powder particles on its sintering behavior were investigated. The pressure and …

Discussion of “Enigmatic super-reduced phases in corundum from natural rocks: Possible
contamination from artificial abrasive materials or metallurgical slags” by Litasov et al. (Lithos …

This paper presented a new type of neutron absorption material used in the storage and
transportation of spent fuel in nuclear power plants as SiC/Gd 2 O 3/6061Al composites …

The occurrence of moissanite (SiC), as xenocrysts in mantle-derived basaltic and kimberlitic
rocks sheds light on the interplay between carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the lithospheric …
