REE AND Th MINERALS IN THE METASANDSTONES OF THE UDOKAN BASIN (RUSSIA) by E.V. Belogub, K.A. Novoselov, V.V. Shilovskikh, I.A. Blinov, E.E. Palenova

“…Detrital allanite is a major REE mineral, which occurs in layers enriched in iron oxides together with authigenic allanite, monazite, and unidentified Ca and REE carbonates. Thorium is concentrated in an authigenic silicate (thorite or thorogummite), which contains a significant amount of Fe, Ca, Al, and Cu and microinclusions of Cu and Pb sulfides and baryte. …”

Molecular Dynamics Simulation to Understand the Ability of Anionic Polymers to Alter the Morphology of Calcite by Insil Choi, Il Won Kim

“…The extent of the charge imbalance on the surfaces appeared responsible for the current results, which originated from the deficient number of the coordinating oxygen atoms of carbonate around the surface calcium. The results of the current study were in accordance with the previous experimental observations, where the {hk0} surfaces of calcite were elongated under the coexistence of the anionic polymers and magnesium ions. …”
