	hapkeite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Hapkeite is a mineral discovered in a meteorite found in 2000 in the Saudi peninsula of Oman, which originated from Earth's moon.
		Hapkeite's composition is of silicon and iron, and is similar to other silicon-iron minerals found on Earth.
		Hapkeite is named after University of Pittsburgh scientist Bruce Hapke, who predicted the presence and importance of vapour-deposited coatings on lunar soil grains about 30 years ago.

		The mineral is called hapkeite after the scientist Bruce Hapke who predicted the existence of the iron and silicon compound on the Moon 30 years ago.
		Hapkeite results from the deposition of iron and silicon in a 2:1 ratio.
		Although hapkeite was first predicted to exist some 30 years ago, this is the first time it has been seen.

	News in Science - New mineral found on the Moon - 27/04/2004
		The new mineral was named hapkeite, after Bruce Hapke, an emeritus professor of geology and planetary sciences at Cornell University in New York, who predicted its discovery some 30 years ago.
		The mineral hapkeite was made when iron and silicon was deposited with two parts iron and one part silicon (Fe Si), the researchers said.
		Hapkeite is the third iron-silicon mineral scientists have found in meteorites, after suessite and perryite, which were reported in the 1970s and 1980s.

	PSRD:: Discovery of hapkeite
		Hapkeite is the third iron silicide identified in this lunar meteorite.
		Although hapkeite has not yet been identified in Apollo regolith samples, the research team concluded that Fe-Si phases are probably more common in the lunar regolith and may be more closely related in origin to nanophase iron than previously thought.
		The discovery of hapkeite in a lunar meteorite has helped improve our understanding of space weathering on the Moon and how space weathering plays a major role in affecting remote sensing studies of airless planetary bodies.

	Making new minerals on the Moon (April 2004) - News - PhysicsWeb
		The mineral - which they have called "hapkeite" - is made of iron and silicon, and was probably formed by the impact of micrometeorites on the lunar surface.
		Lawrence Taylor and Mahesh Anand from the University of Tennessee, together with co-workers at the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry in Moscow and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, analysed a piece of rock from the Moon that had been found in Oman in 2000.
		The team named the mineral hapkeite after Bruce Hapke of the University of Pittsburgh, who predicted some 30 years ago that vapour-deposited coatings would be found on lunar grains.

		The heat from their impact melts and vaporises metals, which are then redeposited on rock fragments as tiny, scattered beads in a glassy coating.
		The mineral hapkeite was made when iron and silicon was deposited with two parts iron and one part silicon (Fe2Si), the researchers said.
		And when they used a very precise synchrotron laser to look at the mineral's crystal structure, they found it was similar to the structure of synthetic Fe2Si.

		Hapkeite is named for Dr. Bruce Hapke (University of Pittsburg), who more than 30 years ago predicted the process considered most likely to produce the observed Fe-Si phases.
		Anand of the University of Tennessee and his colleagues, the preferred scenario for forming hapkeite involves the melting and vaporization of lunar regolith (soil) by micrometeorite impact.

	[meteorite-list] New Mineral Proves an Old Idea about Space Weathering (Hapkeite) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Written by Linda M. Martel Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology Discovered in a lunar meteorite, a new mineral named hapkeite honors the scientist, Bruce Hapke (Emeritis Professor at University of Pittsburg), who nearly 30 years ago predicted the importance of vaporization as one of the processes in space weathering.
		Naming the new Fe2Si mineral hapkeite seemed fitting to Larry Taylor and his colleagues as they consider it to be a direct product of impact-induced vapor-phase deposition in the lunar regolith.
		Anand and colleagues consider SiO2 in the vapor phase from energetic impact-induced melts to be an important source of SiO2+ and Si0, which would combine in various proportions in the vapor with Fe0 to condense out as the observed Fe-Si metal grains.

		Named for the scientist who 30 years ago predicted the space weathering process that forms this mineral, hapkeite is an iron-silicon compound formed by the constant bombardment of tiny meteorites into the moon's surface.
		Vaporization of portions of the melted material condense into elemental iron, a silica-rich gas and hapkeite, which has two atoms of iron and one of silicon.
		The meteorite used for confirming the presence of hapkeite was found in January 2000 in the Dhofar region of Oman.

	New moon mineral found
		The mineral has been named hapkeite, after Bruce Hapke of the University of Pittsburgh who predicted the existence of such a compound on the moon 30 years ago.
		Hapkeite, an iron and silicon compound, is made when tiny particles from space impact the moon's surface at very high speeds. Since the moon has an airless surface, the process is very different from what occurs under similar circumstances on earth, said scientists.
		Small meteorites which would burn after entering the earth's atmosphere constantly bombard the lunar surface and in turn darken the moon's surface, a process called 'weathering.' The new found mineral is one of several such compounds predicted as possible a result of space weathering.
