The electrical conductivity of Earth's mantle has recently become an interesting topic across
diverse Earth science communities. Many electrical conductivity data of mantle phases have …

The potential importance of diffusion in igneous processes was recognized by Bowen
(1921), who noted that" the growth of crystals is accomplished largely by the diffusion of …

CRC Practical Handbooks are a series of single-volume bench manuals that feature a
synthesis of the most frequently used, basic reference information. These highly abridged …

Abstract INTERPRETATIONS of the observed electrical conductivity of the upper mantle
have relied on laboratory studies of dry olivine and basaltic melts1, 2. These studies indicate …

Many types of mixing model are used widely within the earth sciences to determine the
electrical properties of porous media consisting of solid and fluid phases of known …

Redox melting refers to any process by which melt is generated by the contact of a rock with
a fluid or melt with a contrasting oxidation state. It was originally applied to melting owing to …

The general mathematical constraints for thermomechanical equilibrium of partial melts
under hydrostatic or nearly hydrostatic stress conditions are well known. However, melt …

Interpretation of seismic velocity and attenuation in partially molten rocks has been limited,
with few exceptions, to models that assume the melt to be distributed either as spheres or as …

Maxwell's equations provide the starting point to obtain an understanding of how
electromagnetic fields can be used to study the structure of the earth and determine its …

The electrical properties of a material include the primary properties of conductivity and
dielectric constant, and many secondary properties such as the coefficients which determine …
