• closedAccess   A theoretical and experimental investigation of hetero- vs. homo-connectivity in barium silicates 

      Moulton, Benjamin; Gomes, Eduardo O.; Cunha, Thiago R.; Doerenkamp, Carsten; Gracia, Lourdes; Eckert, Hellmut; Andres, Juan; Pizani, Paulo Sergio Mineralogical Society of America (2022-04)
      Barium silicates may be found in contact aureoles and are used in several important technologies (e.g., LEDs). The BaO-SiO2 system stabilizes 13 crystalline phases with different silicate tetrahedral and connectivity ...
    • openAccess   Compression of scheelite-type SrMoO4 under quasi-hydrostatic conditions: Redefining the high-pressure structural sequence 

      Errandonea, Daniel; Gracia, Lourdes; Lacomba Perales, R.; Polian, A.; Chervin, J. C. American Institute of Physics (2013)
      The high-pressure behavior of tetragonal SrMoO4 was analyzed by Raman and optical-absorption measurements. Pressures up to 46.1 GPa were generated using diamond-anvil cells and Ne or N2 as quasi-hydrostatic pressure-transmitting ...
