This paper focuses primarily on the influence of four key parameters: (1) geotherm or thermotectonic age (which controls the rheological profile), (2) lower-crustal composition (weak or strong rheology), (3) convergence rate, and (4) metamorphic changes in the downgoing crust. The experiments...

1.4.1 Unstable nuclei Figure 1.2 gives the combinations of protons and neutrons that are found to be stable nuclei. This information may also be presented as an area of stability, Fig 1.4. Nuclei lying outside this area may be regarded as having the wrong combination of protons and neutrons...

Currently, cuff electrodes faced challenges such as modulus mismatches, geometrical incompatibility, and interfacial micromotions, often leading to unstable electrical coupling for fine nerves and potential irreversible nerve damage. In this contribution, we report the injectable and robust hydrogel ...
Generally, at ambient pressure, compounds other than water, carbon dioxide and methane are thermodynamically unstable (for hydrocarbons, see ref. 9), i.e. have higher Gibbs free are expected to survive energy even in than an isochemical mixture of the terapascal regime10,11, above C, H, O...
The observed enormous aqueous stability clearly distinguishes the presented iron(IV) complexes from most of the earlier reported high-valent iron compounds that are typically unstable, highly reactive and quickly decomposing species in aqueous media. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first ...
Metallic zinc is unstable in the weak acid electrolyte, and free water gives rise to corrosion. The byproduct (basic zinc sulfate) is easily formed due to the increase in local pH and the presence of free water caused by the hydrogen evolution reaction [25]. Owing to the cumulative effect...
The high abundance of the relatively thermally unstable C20 tetracyclic diterpanes (Fig. 4) also indicate that the maturity is below the level for thermal cracking (Dzou and Hughes, 1993; Powell and Snowdon, 1983). This indicates that maturity is not the cause of the variations in bulk and...
Before the XPS measurements, the cycled samples were washed repeatedly with fresh dimethyl carbonate to remove the residual electrolyte; in some cases, the cleaned samples were subjected to further washing with 5% HCl to remove most unstable SEI components of the samples if there exist. Nitrogen ...
