Iron partitioning in Earth's Mantle: Toward a deep lower mantle discontinuity

TL;DR: A high-spin to low-spin transition occurring in the 60- to 70-gigapascal pressure range, corresponding to depths of 2000 kilometers in Earth's lower mantle, implies that the partition coefficient of iron between ferropericlase and magnesium silicate perovskite, the two main constituents of the lower mantle), may increase by several orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electronic transitions in perovskite: possible nonconvecting layers in the lower mantle.

TL;DR: The proportion of iron in the low spin state grows with depth, increasing the transparency of the mantle in the infrared region, with a maximum at pressures consistent with the D″ layer above the core-mantle boundary, which suggests the existence of nonconvecting layers in the lowermost mantle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chains of magnetosomes extracted from AMB-1 magnetotactic bacteria for application in alternative magnetic field cancer therapy.

TL;DR: The antitumoral activity of the extracted chains of magnetosomes is demonstrated further by showing that they can be used to fully eradicate a tumor xenografted under the skin of a mouse and the higher efficiency of the extracts compared with various other materials is attributed to three factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron biomineralization by anaerobic neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated iron biomineralization by the anaerobic nitrate-dependent iron-oxidizing bacterium Acidovorax sp. strain BoFeN1 in the presence of dissolved Fe(II) using electron microscopy and Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM).
