    β(Mg0.9, Fe0.1)2SiO4: Single crystal structure, cation distribution, and properties of coordination polyhedra

    The synthesis boundaries of the phase transformation; α+β→β→β+γ→γ in (Mg0.9, Fe0.1)SiO4, have been clarified at temperatures to 2000° C and pressures up to 20 GPa in order to synthesize single crystals of high qu...

    Pressure and temperature dependence of cation distribution in Mg-Mn olivine

    Synthetic (Mg0.51, Mn0.49)2SiO4 olivine samples are heat-treated at three different pressures; 0, 8 and 12 GPa, all at the same temperature (∼500° C). X-ray structure analyses on these single crystals are made in...

    Antiferromagnetic transition of fayalite under high pressure studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy

    Néel temperature (Tm N of α-Fe2SiO4 (fayalite) was measured as a function of pressure by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy in the pressure range 0–16 Gpa. High pressure was genera...

    Melting of a model chondritic mantle to 20 GPa

    Calculations of the sthermal evolution of the Earth during accretion suggest that the outer layer may once have been molten, perhaps to a depth of 1,000 km or more1,2. If such global melting did occur, fractionat...

    Postspinel Phase of Forsterite and Evolution of the Earth's Mantle

    THIS is the first announcement of success in the experimental confirmation of the postspinel phase of forsterite at high pressure and high temperature. Forsterite (Mg2SiO4) decomposes to periclase (MgO) and stish...
