Miami University teacher-scholars Morgan Gray and Jack Gugino (Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Science), Mithun Bhowmick (Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences), Catherine Almquist, (Department of Chemical, Paper, and Biomedical Engineering), and Mark P. S. Krekeler (Geology and Environmental Earth Science, Mathematical and Physical Sciences) together with Dhanalakshmi Sellan of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s School of Chemical Sciences have co-authored a new study published in Physics and Chemistry of Minerals.
The interdisciplinary team (featuring representatives from Miami's College of Engineering and Computing, College of Arts and Science, and College of Liberal Arts and Applied Studies) found that cryptomelane modified with europium or cerium better retained its crystalline structure under shock compression than the unmodified mineral, offering insights for future development and modeling of shock-resistant materials.
