Can inclusions be symmetry broken?

Can inclusions be symmetry broken? Murri and co-authors recently studied the role of symmetry-breaking strains in quartz inclusions entrapped in zircon by ab initio simulations. They discovered that for deformations expected for real cases the...

New thermoelastic properties for Zircon

New thermoelastic properties for Zircon Alix Ehlers has now published a new manuscript where the thermal-pressure equation of state for zircon (ZrSiO4) that characterizes its thermoelastic behavior at metamorphic conditions has been determined...
