Serpentinization is a key phenomenon for understanding the geodynamics of subduction
zones in the 10–200 km depth range. Serpentines are a major water carrier, and their …

Water within the oceanic lithosphere is returned to Earth's surface at subduction zones.
Observations of metamorphosed veins preserved in exhumed slabs suggest that fluid can …

In this work, the surface properties, functional groups and stability of Fe–Mn bimetal
composite (FMBC) was modified through sintering to improve the weaknesses of pristine …

We conducted deformation experiments in which temperature was increased above the
thermal stability of antigorite to directly test the dehydration embrittlement hypothesis and its …

To further investigate the dehydration embrittlement hypothesis and its possible link to
subduction-zone seismicity, we conducted deformation experiments on antigorite …

General shear experiments on antigorite‐rich serpentinite show a transition from ductile
(distributed) to brittle (localized) deformation with increasing temperature from 300° C to …

Experimental deformation of intact lizardite serpentinite samples was carried out to study the
effect of the dehydration reaction to olivine+ talc+ water under controlled pore water …

The stability of steady slip and homogeneous shear is studied for rate-hardening materials
undergoing chemical reactions that produce weaker materials (reaction-weakening …

Subduction zones are the main entry points of water into Earth's mantle and play an
important role in the global water cycle. The progressive release of water by metamorphic …

We investigate the feedback between antigorite dehydration reactions and fluid extraction
mechanisms through the analysis of field-scale structures and microtextures formed by …
