Real-time observation of cation exchange kinetics and dynamics at the muscovite-water interface. Nature Communications, 2017; 8: 15826 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15826 ...
Thickness-Dependent Nonlinear Electrical Conductivity of Few-Layer Muscovite Mica. Physical Review Applied, 2022; 17 (6) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevApplied.17.064042 ...
Mica, along with feldspar and quartz, is one of the most common rock-forming minerals on the planet. Rocks are aggregates of minerals. Whereas a rock doesn’t have a definite chemical composition ...
Despite its popularity and importance in surface and interface science, muscovite mica still poses many unresolved questions. Surface K + ions have been a prominent focus because they may be readily ...
Background Mica is a naturally occurring mineral and as such its exact composition varies between grades, as will its properties. Ruby Mica or Pottassium Aluminosilicate is the highest grade of ...
The name ‘muscovite’ originated in the 1700s when this form of mica was mined for use in window panes in Russia - the panes were called “muscovy glass.” Another name for mica is isinglass.
IT is well known that large, well-crystallized sheets of muscovite mica are resistant to thermal decomposition at temperatures above 500° C. Hidnert and Dickson1, for example, reported that ...
Muscovite mica, a mineral, has led to apparent defects in building blocks used in at least 5,000 homes in the northwest, causing cracks to open up in thousands of buildings. Photograph: Joe Dunne ...
