In the past couple of decades, the laser-heated diamond anvil cell (combined with in situ
techniques) has become an extensively used tool for studying pressure-temperature …

The structure of glasses and the melts from which they are formed is intrinsically disordered,
making their structural characterization difficult. Whilst the structure of solid minerals can be …

Most magmatism occurring on Earth is conventionally attributed to passive mantle upwelling
at mid-ocean ridges, to slab devolatilization at subduction zones, or to mantle plumes …

Silicate liquids play a key part at all stages of deep Earth evolution, ranging from core and
crust formation billions of years ago to present-day volcanic activity. Quantitative models of …

Magma oceans were once ubiquitous in the early solar system, setting up the initial
conditions for different evolutionary paths of planetary bodies. In particular, the redox …

The origin and stability of deep-mantle melts, and the magmatic processes at different times
of Earth's history are controlled by the physical properties of constituent silicate liquids. Here …

Moderately volatile elements (MVEs) are depleted and isotopically fractionated in the Moon
relative to Earth. To understand how the composition of the Moon was established, we …

Here we present a standalone program, DensityX, to calculate the densities of hydrous
silicate melts (1000s of samples in a single model run) given pressures, temperatures, and …

With ab initio molecular dynamics simulations on a Na‐, Ca‐, Fe‐, Mg‐, and Al‐bearing
silicate melt of pyrolite composition, we examine the detailed changes in elemental …

Experiments establishing the effect of pressure on the Fe 3+/ΣFe ratio of andesitic silicate
melts buffered by coexisting Ru and RuO 2 were performed from 100 kPa to 7 GPa and …
