Abstract:High-pressure phase equilibria studies provide important constraints on the mineralogy and composition of the earth's interior. However, most of these high-pressure experimental studies have concentrated upon the magnesiumrich simple system. It is generally acknowledged that the phase change of the basaltic crust and surrounding mantle plays significant role in mantle dynamics. In the present study, the cell parameters of minerals in the basaltic (morb) and peridotitic (klb-1) compositions have been determined… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
