Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is an in-situ and non-destructive analytical technique
with high spatial resolution and an increasingly important analysis tool in materials science …

Mineral-hosted melt inclusions have become an important source of information on
magmatic processes. As the number of melt inclusion studies increases, so does the need to …

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme form of regional
crustal metamorphism, with temperatures exceeding 900° C. UHT crustal metamorphism is …

Fe K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra were recorded for a series
of anorthite-diopside eutectic glasses containing 1 wt% 57Fe2O3 quenched from melts …

A new technique that allows extraction of liquids from peridotite at degrees of melting φ as
low as 0.2 wt% is presented. Microfractures that formed in the graphite sample container at …

Abstract Ce L III-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra were recorded
for a series of synthetic glasses prepared over a range of oxygen fugacities (fO 2 s, from− 10 …

We have established a method to determine the oxidation state of Fe using the electron
microprobe—the “flank method.” This method has the possibility to analyze simultaneously …

Clinopyroxene ferric iron content is an important consideration for garnet-clinopyroxene
geothermometry and estimations of water storage in the Earth's interior but remains difficult …

Biotite, white mica, and chlorite record petrological processes and pressure–temperature
conditions. Unfortunately, their crystal chemistry is complicated and thermodynamic …

Iron speciation is linked to oxygen fugacity; hence the Fe 3+/ΣFe ratio of glasses can reveal
the oxygen fugacity of the system where they last equilibrated. Previous studies using X-ray …
