Impact of Chemical Impurities on the Crystalline Cement Clinker Phases Determined by Atomistic Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of classical and quantum mechanical simulation methods was used to study the detailed physicochemical changes of the clinker phases alite (Ca3SiO5) and belite(Ca2SiO4) when Mg2+, Al3+ and Fe3+ guest ions were incorporated into their structure.

The Distribution of Solute in Crystals Grown from the Melt. Part I. Theoretical

TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of solute elements into single crystals of germanium grown from the melt is examined in terms of a simple model, which takes account of the contribution of the solute transport in the melt, owing to diffusion and fluid motion, to the over-all process of impurity incorporation during steady-state crystallization.

Portland cement clinker mineralogical and chemical investigations: Part II electron microprobe analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemistry of the clinker minerals was studied with the electron microprobe; the alites and belites could be easily determined but the aluminates and ferrites were difficult or impossible to determine separately.
