Limits to the Validity of Thermal-Pressure Equations of State

In this new manuscript Ross Angel shows that for thermal-pressure Equations of State (EoS) such as the Mie-Grüneisen-Debye (MGD) the assumptions, including the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA) and a simplified phonon density of states need to...

Another score for Mazzucchelli: Elastic geobarometry for anisotropic inclusions in cubic hosts

14/09/2019 1943
Another score for Mazzucchelli: Elastic geobarometry for anisotropic inclusions in cubic hosts

Another score for Mattia Mazzucchelli! In his new manuscript Mattia tackles the key issue of extending elastic barometry to anisotropic inclusions in cubic host! The change of strain in the inclusion can now be modelled using the axial equations...
