One of the purposes of this study is to give further constraints on the temperature range of the zircon partial annealing zone over a geological time scale using data from borehole zircon samples, which have experienced ...

A self-learning simulated annealing algorithm is developed by combining the characteristics of simulated annealing and domain elimination methods. The algorithm is validated by using a standard mathematical function and ...

Slices of apatite (cut similar to 45 degrees apart from c-axis) were irradiated with Sm-152 ions and heated at different steps in order to investigate the thermal annealing property of tracks generated by these ions. The ...

Lanthanum-doped bismuth titanate thin films (Bi(3.25)La(0.75)Ti(3)O(12) - BLT) were prepared by the polymeric precursor method and crystallized in the microwave and conventional furnaces. The obtained films are polycrystalline ...

Electrical properties of natural alexandrite (BeAl2O4:Cr3+) are investigated by the thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) technique. Samples are submitted to consecutive annealing processes and TSDC is carried ...

Raman analyzes were performed on zircon from a syenite located in the Pocos de Caldas Complex, Brazil, with a fission-track (FT) zircon age of 81.4 +/- 6.8 Ma. Three isochronous heating (1, 10 and 100 hours) of zircon ...

Ba(Zr0.50Ti0.50)O-3 thin films were prepared by the polymeric precursor method using the annealing low temperature of 300 degrees C for 8, 16, 24, 48, 96 and 192 It in a furnace tube with oxygen atmosphere. The X-ray ...
