Partial melting at continental lithosphere depths plays an important role in generating
geochemical variations in igneous rocks. In particular, dehydration melting of ultrahigh …

Feldspars are the most abundant mineral in the earth's crust, however, their interest in
ceramic industry goes beyond their abundancy. The unique compositional and structural …

Newtonian viscosities of 19 natural multicomponent melts ranging in composition from
basanite through phonolite and trachyte, to dacite have been analysed in the range of 100 …

Although volumetrically minor in the upper continental crust, pegmatites host lots of rare-
metal mineralization (eg, Li, Be). Pegmatites and associated mineralization were generally …

Viscosity and structure of Na/K tectosilicate glasses containing 75 and 83mol% of SiO2 have
been investigated. Viscosity increases non-linearly when K+ ions substitute Na+ ions in …

We experimentally determined F and Cl partition coefficients together with that of 19 trace
elements (including REE, U-Th, HFSE and LILE) between basaltic melt and lherzolite …

To determine the effect of water on the rheology of depolymerized melts, we have measured
the viscosity of two series of hydrated synthetic aluminosilicate melts analogous in bulk …

The viscosities of aqueous fluids with 10 to 80 weight percent dissolved silicates have been
measured at 600° to 950° C and 1.0 to 2.0 gigapascals by in situ observation of falling …

Ternary aluminosilicate glasses are of great interest in glass and earth sciences. The
structural role of the non-network cations is not fully understood until now. Understanding …

Property and structure data from binary and ternary silicate and aluminosilicate melts and
glasses often reveal simple and systematic relationships to composition and temperature …
