BEYOND ETCH PLATES. “During dynamic recrystallization (DRX), strain hardening due to the accumulation of lattice defects is counteracted by both the creation and migration of grain boundaries, and the nucleation of new, strain-free recrystallized grains.” https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2018JB016201 View in LinkedIn

CRYSTAL ENERGETICS. “Dynamic recrystallization and recovery are fundamental processes in the crystal plastic deformation of rocks and minerals, whereby the elastic strain energy associated with linear lattice defects (i.e., dislocations) is minimized by the reorganization of those defects into low-energy configurations.” https://lnkd.in/e36ZB3JP View in LinkedIn

METAMORPHIC PROCESSES. “Dynamic recrystallization is an important process during deformation of many rock forming minerals, occurring under a wide range of metamorphic conditions. It can strongly influence mechanical properties and the development of microstructure.” https://lnkd.in/eR_euCnr View in LinkedIn

FAR FROM EQUILIBRIUM. “In the real world, the concentrations of dissolved species are often not at equilibrium with the minerals of the host rock. This is particularly true in carbonate rocks, where the nonequilibrium is a useful interpretive tool.” https://lnkd.in/eTGK5eZN View in LinkedIn

CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA. “For any of these minerals, there is a certain equilibrium concentration, defined thermodynamically by the concentration at which the free energies of the species on both sides of the dissolution reaction balance exactly or kinetically where the rate of dissolution is equal to the rate of precipitation.” https://lnkd.in/eTGK5eZN View in LinkedIn

SOLUBILITY VARIABILITY. “For three common minerals at ambient temperatures." "Solubilities: " "Halite, NaCl 350,000 mg/L" "Gypsum, CaSO4,2H2O 2,500 mg/L" "Calcite, CaCO3 7 mg/L” https://lnkd.in/eTGK5eZN View in LinkedIn

Summer confetti disperses the rigid idea of deciduous plants dropping their leaves only in the autumn; the expensive process of discarding body parts is ongoing. View in LinkedIn

CHROMATOGRAPHY. “In terms of scale, at one extreme minute quantities of less than a nanogram are separated and identified during analysis, while at the other, hundreds of kilograms of material per hour are processed into refined products.” https://lnkd.in/eVWxgEc6 View in LinkedIn

OUTER SHELL ELECTRONS. “As given by Compton, the explanation of the Compton shift is that in the target material, graphite, valence electrons are loosely bound in the atoms and behave like free electrons.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

SOLUBILITY CHEMISTRY. “Some minerals simply dissolve in water, dissociating into their component ions. Other minerals react chemically with water, often forming some soluble ions and some insoluble residues. For those that dissolve by ionic dissociation, the range in solubilities spans many orders of magnitude.” https://lnkd.in/eTGK5eZN View in LinkedIn
