Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is a counterintuitive physical phenomenon that the unit
cell volume of material usually contracts instead of expands upon heating. With two …

Interatomic potentials approximate the potential energy of atoms as a function of their
coordinates. Their main application is the effective simulation of many-atom systems. Here …

We complete the development and description of a thermodynamic method for the
computation of phase equilibria and physical properties of multiphase mantle assemblages …

Large elastic nonlinearities can lead to elastic hysteresis behavior, which defines
ferroelasticity in analogy to its sister ferroics: ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity …

The elastic properties of silica phases are reviewed. Available monocrystal data for
crystalline SiO2 polymorphs (low-quartz, high-quartz, low-cristobalite, high-cristobalite …

Progress in seismic methodology and ambitious large‐scale seismic projects are enabling
high‐resolution imaging of the continental crust. The ability to constrain interpretations of …

The contents of this monograph are two-scope. First, it intends to provide a synthetic but
complete account of the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations on which the reaction path …

To interpret seismic images, rock seismic velocities need to be calculated at elevated
pressure and temperature for arbitrary compositions. This technical report describes an …

Data on temperature-dependent thermal properties of concrete are critical for fire-resistance
evaluation of concrete structures. This paper presents the effect of temperature on thermal …

This research studies the high temperature behavior of lightweight aggregate concretes
(LWAC) by providing a comprehensive study that regroups the physical, thermo-mechanical …
