Pressure profoundly alters all states of matter. The symbiotic development of ultrahigh-
pressure diamond anvil cells, to compress samples to sustainable multi-megabar pressures; …

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 …

The viscosity of magma plays a crucial role in the dynamics of the Earth: from the
crystallization of a magma ocean during its initial stages to modern-day volcanic processes …

Aluminosilicate glasses and melts are of paramount importance for geo-and materials
sciences. They include most magmas, and are used to produce a wide variety of everyday …

The two first chapters of this volume focus on the structure of magmas at different scales:
short and medium range order. A quick review of the glass literature, from the 90's or older …

Thermochemical heterogeneities detected today in the Earth's mantle could arise from
ongoing partial melting in different mantle regions. A major open question, however, is the …

A quantitative description of the transport properties, diffusivity, viscosity, electrical, and
thermal conductivity, of silicate melts is essential for understanding melting‐related …

Significant gaps remain in understanding of gas-melt interfaces in foamed glass systems.
We attempt to address these gaps by reporting on the transition of local structure, ionic …

One key for understanding the stratification in the deep mantle lies in the determination of
the density and structure of matter at high pressures, as well as the density contrast between …
