Vanadium-bearing tourmaline was found in Paleozoic metacherts near Chvojnica in the Stražovske vrchy Mountains, Slovakia. The geochemistry of metacherts suggests that the protolith was deposited under anoxic conditions. Tourmaline from Chvojnica displays strong chemical zoning, with high Mg and a very low Fe content.…

The influence of electronic and geometric factors is considered in the context of the manifestation of size effects in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation and hydrogenation reactions. Both of the factors are interdependent; however, the electronic factor predominates with regard to small metal and metal oxide particles…

Abstract Taking classical polyoxometalates such as Lindqvist, Keggin, Dawson, and Preyssler anions as the starting point, a walk is taken through the electronic and structural properties of polyoxoanions in solution. We will discuss nucleation mechanisms, redox properties, and isomerism of polyoxometalates. The effect…

A theory is developed that allows one to consider the dynamics of an acoustically induced bubble near a fluid layer of finite density and thickness. The theory reveals that, as far as the scattered field of a bubble in the far-field zone is concerned, the layer thickness is a very important factor because the behavior…
