The high‐temperature measurements of elastic constants and related temperature
derivatives of nine minerals of interest to geophysical and geochemical theories of the …

This research has been motivated by geophysics and materials physics. The objective of this
research has been to advance materials theory and computations for high pressure and …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

Since Skinner [75] compiled the thermal expansion data of substances of geological interest,
many new measurements on oxides, carbonates, and silicates have been made by x-ray …

The bulk chemical composition of the Upper Mantle (“pyrolite”) is derived from experimental
and petrological studies of the complementary relationships between basaltic magmas and …

A model for thermal conductivity κ, based on phonon lifetimes obtained from infrared
reflectivity, replicates experimental data at ambient conditions. The pressure and absolute …

We report the development of an ab initio constant pressure extended molecular dynamics
method with variable cell shape. This is a symmetry conserving method which allows for …

A new synchrotron X‐ray diffraction study of MgSiO3 perovskite at high‐pressure and high‐
temperature has been carried out in a laser‐heated diamond‐anvil cell to 94 GPa and …

High-temperature powder x-ray diffraction data are presented for perovskite between 293
and 1523 K. The temperature-dependence of superlattice intensities and cell parameters …

High‐pressure, high‐temperature properties of MgSiO3,(Fe0. 1Mg0. 9) SiO3, and (Fe0.
2Mg0. 8) SiO3 perovskites have been investigated using a newly developed X ray diffraction …
