This chapter presents an overview of diffusion data for pyroxenes, amphiboles and micas.
These minerals are grouped together since amphiboles and micas are closely related in …

Shear zones play a major role in the deformation of the crust at a variety of scales, as
expressions of strain localization during orogeny and rifting, and also as reactivated …

Understanding the evolution and processes that shape our planet critically depends on the
robustness of the absolute ages and process durations obtained from rocks and crystals …

Experimental deformation experiments have been conducted on fine‐grained, two‐phase
aggregates of olivine and orthopyroxene to investigate the role of grain and phase boundary …

We evaluate initial (26Al/27Al) I,(53Mn/55Mn) I, and (182Hf/180Hf) I ratios, together with
207Pb/206Pb ages for igneous differentiated meteorites and chondrules from ordinary …

Although geologists have been thinking and writing about diffusion in minerals, magmas,
and rocks since early in the 20th century (eg, Penrose 1914; Van Orstrand 1915; Bowen …

Abstract We have measured Fe-Mg interdiffusion coefficients, D Fe-Mg, parallel to the three
main crystallographic axes in two natural orthopyroxene single crystals [approximately …

To better constrain the Cr isotopic composition of the silicate Earth and to investigate
potential Cr isotopic fractionation during high temperature geological processes, we …

We present new experimentally determined trace element partition coefficients between
spinel and silicate melt. The experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure and at …

We present a model of the thermal evolution of asteroids. Assuming an onion shell model for
the H chondrite parent body we obtain constraints for the H chondrite asteroid parameters by …
