<p>Natural open joints in rocks commonly present multiscale self-affine apertures.The goal of this paper is to find a geometrical model of the complex aperture that describes at best the macroscopic properties (hydraulic conductivity, heat exchange) with the ...

Variations in the morphology of illitic clay minerals were observed in the Kamikita hydrothermal system for illitized smectite. Particle sizes and microtopographies were measured by transmission electron microscopy using Pt shadowing and Au decoration. Particle ...
