- Abstract—The paper reports new geochronological, petrological, and isotope-geochemical data on the syenites and alkali syenites of the Artyushki massif, and the monzonites of the Gusikha massif. These massifs are located along the southwestern and northeastern margins of the Pachelma aulacogen, in the southeastern part of the East European Platform (EEP). They have Early Cambrian ages of 524 ± 3 (Artyushki) and 514 ± 2 Ma (Gusikha) obtained by the U-Pb zircon method and similar ages of amphibole and K-feldspar by the 40Ar/39Ar method. This time period has previously been regarded as amagmatic in the EEP evolution. The Artyushki massif is made up of Amp–Cpx syenite porphyries and Grt–Cpx alkali syenite porphyries and their fenitized varieties. As compared to the Amp–Cpx varieties the Grt–Cpx rocks are more peralkaline (A/NK > 0.9) and have higher LREE and HFSE, and fractionated HREE patterns. The metasomatized (fenitized) varieties are more potassic and bear geochemical evidence of fluid reworking (high Y/Ho ratios, significant Zn variations, and etc.). Bulk samples have weakly radiogenic Sr isotopic compositions: (87Sr/86Sr)520 are within 0.703066–0.703615. The values of εNd(520) vary from –0.69 to +1.64. The Grt–Cpx syenite porphyries have the positive εNd(520), while the Amp–Cpx and fenitized syenite porphyries feature negative εNd. The Gusikha massif consists of biotite–amphibole and biotite monzonites. Similar to the Artyushki syenites in SiO2 contents, the Gusikha monzonites have higher Mg# (0.22–0.54 and 0.34–0.71 for the Artyushki and Gusikha massifs, respectively). They are also characterized by a negative Nb–Ta anomaly (Nb/Nb* = 0.5), high Ва/Sr ratio, and highly radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr)520 = 0.705204 and 0.705320. Their Nd-isotopic compositions correspond to εNd(520) = –6.7 and ‒7.0. Two melts contributed to the formation of the Artyushki massif. One was a strongly contaminated melt (Amp–Cpx syenite porphyries, the other was weakly contaminated (Grt–Cpx syenite porphyries). The main contribution was phonolitic melt derived from the melting of a moderately metasomatized (carbonate- and amphibole-bearing) shallow lithospheric mantle. The earliest and deepest melt portions were carbonate–silicate in composition. The geochemical, as well as the Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of the Gusikha monzonites indicate a predominant crustal contribution and pervasive reworking of the lithospheric mantle beneath southeastern Volgo–Uralia of the EEP in the Mesoproterozoic. Both massifs feature the geochemistry of within-plate and supra-subduction derivatives, which suggests a postorogenic tectonic setting of the magmatism. The presence of the Early Cambrian postorogenic magmatism within the East European Platform/Baltica is direct evidence for the involvement of Baltica in the collisional and/or accretionary events during the terminal Neoproterozoic–the beginning of the Paleozoic. This suggests reworking of the lithospheric mantle of Baltica during its collision with Timanian and East Avalonian/Cadomian terranes, including Scythia.

- We present the results of isotope-geochronological study of metasedimentary rocks of the Bolshecheremshanskaya Formation of the Volgo-Uralian segment of the East European Craton carried out to identify their protoliths. 16 samples of high-alumina gneisses from well cores were studied using the Sm-Nd isotope method and T-Nd(DM) model ages. Accessory zircons were selected from rocks with the most ancient model ages (more 3.2 Ga) in three wells: Minnibaevskaya 20000, Novo-Elkhovskaya 20009, and Zai-Karatayskaya 12930 in South Tatarstan. The isotope U-Pb dating of 200 zircon grains was performed on a Cameca 1280 NORDSIM secondary ion mass spectrometer at the Natural History Museum (Stockholm, Sweden). The most applicable sites for analysis of zircon crystals were pre-selected based on cathodoluminescence images. The analytical results demonstrate the diversity of zircon groups in age from 3.8 to 2.6 Ga and together with geochemical features of metasedimentary rocks of the Bolshecheremshanskaya Formation suggest the heterogeneous composition and age of provenance areas under denudation. Occurrence of Eoarchean and Paleoarchean zircons in the clastic material of the protolith of the Bolshecheremshanskaya gneisses indicates the existence of Early Archean crustal terrains in Volgo-Uralia.

- Abstract: This data on the age of metamorphism of rocks of the Yelabuga zone and the geochronological data on detrital zircon from paragneisses of the same zone are presented, and their correlation with the ages of rocks from the Middle Volga megablock is made. The rocks of the Yelabuga zone and Middle Volga megablock have similar geochemical characteristics and degrees of metamorphism, but demonstrate the following differences: Paleoproterozoic metamorphism was clearly expressed in the studied rocks of the Yelabuga zone, which contrasts to rocks of the Middle Volga megablock, where no metamorphism of this age is manifested. The study of the U–Pb isotopic system in external zones of zircon crystals from the Yelabuga deformation zone suggests that rocks underwent two stages of metamorphism, 1.99 and 1.95 Ga ago.

- We propose a method to compute the transmission through correlated heterostructures by combining density functional and many-body dynamical mean field theories. The heart of this combination consists in porting the many-body self-energy from an all electron basis into a pseudopotential localized atomic basis set. Using this combination we study the effects of local electronic interactions and finite temperatures on the transmission across the Cu4CoCu4 metallic heterostructure. It is shown that as the electronic correlations are taken into account via a local but dynamic self-energy, the total transmission at the Fermi level gets reduced (predominantly in the minority-spin channel), whereby the spin polarization of the transmission increases. The latter is due to a more significant d-electron contribution, as compared to the noncorrelated case in which the transport is dominated by s and p electrons.

- Herein, we study the native point defect equilibrium in Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) by applying a statistical thermodynamic model. The stable chemical- potential space (SCPS) of CZTS at an elevated temperature was estimated directly, on the basis of deviations from stoichiometry calculated for the different combinations of chemical potential of the components. We show that the SCPS is narrow due to high concentration of (V-Cu(-) Zn-Cu(+)) complex which is dominant over other complexes and isolated defects. The CZTS was found to have p-type conductivity for both stoichiometric and Cu-poor/Zn-rich composition. It is established that the reason for this is that the majority of donor-like Zn-Cu(+) antisites are involved in the formation of (V-Cu(-) Zn-Cu(+)) complex making Cu-Zn dominant and providing p- type conductivity even for Cu-poor/Zn-rich composition. However, our calculation reveals that the hole concentration is almost insensitive to the variation of the chemical composition within the composition region of the single-phase CZTS due to nearly constant concentration of dominant charged defects. The calculations for the full equilibrium and quenching indicate that hole concentration is strongly dependent on the annealing temperature and decreases substantially after the drastic cooling. This means that the precise control of annealing temperature and post-annealing cooling rate are critical for tuning the electrical properties of CZTS.
