Research interests:
The Earth's crust contains many complex assemblages of fine-grained low-temperature minerals. Many of these phases are produced when chemically diverse solutions permeate rocks and initiate chemical changes that form new minerals. Crystal structures are crucial in understanding their crystal chemistry and therefore in understanding the geochemical formation and chemical alteration of these species. The minerals crystal chemistry is particularly important for environmental problems in determining the migration and binding pathways of metals in aqueous systems. There are also many examples of the discovery of new minerals that have lead to important technological innovations. For example, for the last fifty years, most of the world's gasoline has been produced using catalysts containing materials iso-structural with the mineral faujasite.
There are over 4000 known mineral species on Earth, hundreds incompletely characterized because their crystal structures have not been determined. The determination of the structures of these micro-crystals using x-rays from third-generation synchrotron sources opens the gate to a new field of micro-geochemistry, which has important applications to agriculture, the energy and metal industries, hydrology, geo-biology and environmental sciences.
It is important to continue to seek and obtain samples of minerals and related materials with unknown crystal structures and study them using unique micro-crystallography capabilities at CARS. In doing so, new classes of materials will be discovered that can provide important new technologies.
The use of high intensity X-rays from a synchrotron source allows the three-dimensional collection of structure data from very small crystals or crystal fragments and thus opens up a much larger range of crystalline compounds to structure determination. Among the more troublesome crystals are those that, while otherwise large enough for study using conventional X-ray sources, are unsuitable because they exhibit high mosaicity, warping and/or complex twinning. Such quality problems can sometimes be overcome, or at least minimized, by carefully splitting or breaking off very small fragments from these crystals.
Examples of previously unknown structures determined using CARS facilities at the APS include quetzalcoatlite, ajoite, redgillite, meurigite, and several other new mineral species.
