The thermal conductivities of materials are extremely important for many practical
applications, such as in understanding the thermal balance and history of the Earth, energy …

Besides temperature at one atmosphere, the applied pressure is another important
parameter for influencing and controlling reaction pathways and final reaction products. This …

We performed experiments to separate the effects of temperature, pressure and metal
composition on the metal-silicate partitioning of V, Ni, Co, Mn and Si in order to refine the …

During the last 60 years, new high pressure techniques and their exploitation have permitted
the extension of attainable pressure/volume conditions, increased versatility of the …

The composition of Earth's atmosphere depends on the redox state of the mantle, which
became more oxidizing at some stage after Earth's core started to form. Through high …

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has long been established as
offering unique atomic-scale and element-specific insight into the structure, disorder, and …

We present results of lattice thermal diffusivity measurements on (Mg0. 9Fe0. 1) 2SiO4
olivine and its high-pressure polymorphs wadsleyite and ringwoodite under mantle …

We performed new experiments on incorporation of hydrogen in olivine at high pressures (2–
12 GPa) and temperatures (1000–1300° C). OH concentrations were calculated using the …

University to produce diamonds without the belt apparatus.[Courtesy of the H. Tracy Hall …

The oxygen fugacity (f O 2) at which carbonate-bearing melts are reduced to either graphite
or diamond in synthetic eclogite compositions has been measured in multi-anvil …
