Feldspar group minerals (feldspars) form up to 60 vol.% of the Earth's crust. The knowledge
of their stability under extreme conditions (high-pressure and high-temperature) allow to …

The various aspects of polymorphism in the feldspar family of minerals are considered with
special emphasis upon their structural diversity and complexity. The feldspar family is …

Layered silicates are a very versatile class of materials with high importance to humanity.
The new nitridophosphates MP6N11 (M= Al, In), synthesized from MCl3, P3N5 and NH4N3 …

Modelling of processes involving deep Earth liquids requires information on their structures
and compression mechanisms. However, knowledge of the local structures of silicates and …

The high-pressure behavior of slawsonite, SrAl2Si2O8, has been studied using in situ single-
crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and Raman spectroscopy up to 31 GPa. Slawsonite …
