Valley-optical absorption in planar transition metal dichalcogenide superlattices by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Rezaei, B., Liu, Zheng

“…In this study, we investigate the optical absorption of a planar superlattice comprising alternatively arranged two-dimensional Transition Metal DiChalcogenide semiconductors. Within a semi-classical model and using the Dirac-like equation in the presence of light interaction as a perturbation, we obtained the governing Hamiltonian. …”

The multicomponent exchange of metals between magmatic fluids and silicate melts by Gion, AM, Gaillard, F

“…We find that most trace elements are largely fluid immobile, i.e. partition coefficients of  < 1 with the exception of some transition metals, such as Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn. Fluid mobility is primarily affected by the chlorine concentration of the fluid where increasing chlorine concentration in the fluid increases metal mobility. …”
