The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Strength and drying shrinkage of reactive MgO modified alkali-activated slag paste (2014, neutral): “The findings here confirmed early studies that Mg is quickly consumed to form Ht or M–S–H in combination with silica fume or slag [39,51–53], although M–S–H is hard to be detected by XRD [54].”
Cemdata18: A chemical thermodynamic database for hydrated Portland cements and alkali-activated materials (2019, background): “Given the difference in structure 840 and pH domains, most studies [114-117] observed the precipitation of distinct C-S-H and M-S-H 841 phases and not of a mixed magnesium calcium silicate hydrate phase.”
Formation of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) cement pastes using sodium hexametaphosphate (2014, methodology): “The broad amorphous peaks for the product were found to be consistent with the XRD pattern of magnesium-silicate-hydrate (M-S-H) gel published by Brew and Glasser [4].”
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of cements (2019, background): “The major component of the 29Si MAS NMR spectra is a Q3 resonance at approximately diso 1⁄4 93 ppm and the Q 1 and Q(2) resonances are typically broad [142,292], indicating the disordered nature of the gel.”
