In her new paper published on American Mineralogist, Mara Murri, describes a method for determining the strains in quartz inclusions from Raman spectroscopy using the concept of the phonon-mode Grüneisen tensor, which we determine by ab initio...

In this paper, we test the available experimental calibrations for clino and orthopyroxenes as geothermometer by determining their site in synthetic samples grown from a hydrous nepheline basanite in a piston-cylinder apparatus at 1050 °C at...

An exact solution to the problem in elastic geobarometry of combining non-linear Equations of State (EoS) with the elastic relaxation for elastically isotropic spherical host-inclusion systems without any approximations of linear elasticity is...
