Radiogenic heat production is fundamental to the energy budget of planets. Roughly half of
the heat that Earth loses through its surface today comes from the three long-lived, heat …

Super‐Earths ranging up to 10 Earth masses (ME) with Earth‐like density are common
among the observed exoplanets thus far, but their measured masses and radii do not …

(Mg, Fe) Si O 3 post-perovskite is the highest-pressure silicate mineral phase in the Earth's
interior. The extreme pressure and temperature conditions inside large extrasolar planets …

Density functional theory calculations and Raman spectroscopy measurements indicate that
compression of Na2CuF4 results in a series of phase transitions leading through distorted …

Here we present an ab initio prediction of an order-disorder transition (ODT) from a I 4¯ 2 d-
type to Th 3 P 4-type phase in the cation sublattices of Mg 2 Ge O 4, a post-post-perovskite …

The stability and phase transformation processes of SrGe 2 B 2 O 8 were studied under
extreme conditions (up to 960 ºC/40 GPa) using in situ single-crystal and powder X-ray …

Germanates are often used as structural analogs of planetary silicates. We have explored
the high-pressure phase relations in Mg2GeO4 using diamond anvil cell experiments …
