Stable Isotope Fractionations Involving Ca–Mg Carbonates: Evaluation of the β-Factors by the “Frozen Phonon” Method
Temperature dependencies of the oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and calcium β-factors (from 0 to 1500°C with a step of 10°C) have been determined for...

Influence of octahedral site chemistry on the elastic properties of biotite
Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy was used along with detailed composition information obtained from electron probe microanalysis to study the...

Crystals
The treatment of natural crystals cannot be very comprehensive, for obvious reasons, and I limit myself to some rock-forming minerals and to some...

High-temperature behavior of quartz-in-garnet system revealed by in situ Raman spectroscopy
Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth crust and therefore quartz inclusions in garnet are of great interest for elastic...
