Niu (2021) reviews fundamental topics of basaltic magma generation in the oceans and
continents, including passive and active margins as well as intraplate regions. In his …

It is well known that water significantly lowers mantle solidi. But it turns out this paradigm is
not always true. Here, we studied the interaction of K-rich carbonate melts with the natural …

We synthesized the inorganic anhydrous aluminum carbonates Al2 [C2O5][CO3] 2 and Al2
[CO3] 3 by reacting Al2O3 with CO2 at high pressures and temperatures and characterized …

Using molecular dynamics simulation and evolutionary metadynamic calculations, a series
of structures were revealed that possessed enthalpies and Gibbs energies lower than those …

Abstract The binary CaCO 3-MgCO 3 constitutes the reference model system to reconstruct
the petrogenesis of carbonated rocks, and of carbonatite magmas possibly generated in the …

Abstract Siderite (FeCO3) and rhodochrosite (MnCO3) are two interesting carbonate
minerals, which normally occur in hydrothermal deposits on deep-sea altered oceanic crust …

Carbonatitic high-density fluids and carbonate mineral inclusions in lithospheric and sub-
lithospheric diamonds reveal comparable compositions to crustal carbonatites and, thus …

Almost all igneous rocks are composed of silicate minerals; carbonatites are the main
exception to this rule. They form only a minor proportion of the continental crust but are of …

Carbon flux metasomatism in the subduction environment is an important process, but it
remains poorly understood. The paucity of exposed lower crust and upper mantle rocks in …

The phase stability of carbonates under mantle conditions is important for understanding the
global carbon cycle. In this study, the Hugoniot data of a natural siderite (FeCO 3) were …
