Now our Nature
Portfolio papers are (nearly) published:
On Thursday,
20.04.2023, our colleague Paul Klar with coworkers
published an article in Nature Chemistry. :
Accurate structure
models and absolute configuration determination using
dynamical effects in continuous-rotation 3D electron
diffraction data
It presents a method to analyse 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) data as a tool for routine structure analysis for all kinds of materials, including minerals, framework structures and organic compounds. With modern electron crystallography, we can reveal structural details like guest molecules in zeolites, the position of hydrogen atoms in framework structures and the absolute structure in nanosized to submicrometric crystals with a typical thickness of about 100 nm.
Christoph Vogt
is Co-Author on a Nature Communications paper:
Coastal El Niño
triggers rapid marine silicate alteration on the seafloor
Fig. 1: Schematic of
marine silicate alteration reactions. See https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-37186-5
and soon another paper with Chr. Vogt as Co-Author will be published on Arctic Ocean Paleoceanography in Nature Comm. Earth and Environment: Omnipresent authigenic calcite distorts Arctic radiocarbon chronology,
Several paper of Prof.
Reinhard X. Fischer have also been published, check
out our Research->Publications Pages.
March 2023
We have a first 2023
wave of accepted manuscripts. Some are at the Nature Portfolio system (stay tuned),
some are finally published (1, 2) :

January 2023
We welcome a new
researcher: PhD candidate Christin Wiggers. She will work on
a MARUM
funded project related to Olivine mineral
crystallography.

Nature
Geosciences has emphasized the importance of
minerals by introducing the new essay/blog "Minerals
Matters", see relevant stories in "All Minerals
considered" here

August 2022
We welcome 3 new
researcher associated with our group: Lobna Saaed, Jakob
Brauer (PhD students in the Crystalline
Microporous Materials group) and Dr. Paul Klar
(own research group on Materials Mineralogy themes) who is
also welcomed by the Geoscience Department here.
June 2022
We welcome Prof. Juan
Manuel García-Ruiz as guest lecture in the Geoscience
Department colloquium on Wed 8. June at
12:15 in GEO1550 (The formation of giant gypsum crystals:
nucleation, growth and preservation). In recognization
of his immense achievements, the German Crystallgraphic
Society has recently awarded Juanma the Liebau-Prize for the Promotion of
Interdisciplinarity in Crystallography. To celebrate this
award and to allow for a lifely exchange of opinion and
ideas, there will be a reception with beverages and finger
food after the lecture just outside of the lecture hall.

May 2022
We offer a PhD job
for 36 month in cooperation with MARUM on OLIVINE solid
solution series and compounds. Materials with the olivine
structure are frequently studied for various applications.
If you are interested in crystallography and want to look
for some diffuse scattering, please get in touch with us
as the deadline for application has passed.
