    Polyphase tectono-magmatic evolution during mantle exhumation in an ultra-distal, magma-poor rift domain: example of the fossil Platta ophiolite, SE Switzerland

    Despite the fact that many studies have investigated mantle exhumation at ultra-slow-spreading ridges and magma-poor rifted margins, there are still numerous questions concerning the 3D architecture, magmatic,...

    Thermo-Coulomb effects in mesoscopic tunnel junctions

    We present a study of the thermoelectric effect in tunnel junctions. In particular we calculate the thermopower coefficientS and the Peltier coefficient π. For macroscopic junctions we demonstrate the sensitivity...
