Over the past few decades, hydrous minerals were thought to be absent in the lower mantle,
due to their instability at high-pressure conditions. Recently, however, hydrous phases …

Infrared spectroscopy, ubiquitous in contemporary chemical laboratories, is frequently
underutilised for just the basic characterisation of products. However, its unique ability to …

Water transported by subducted oceanic plates changes mineral and rock properties at high
pressures and temperatures, affecting the dynamics and evolution of the Earth's interior …

The experimental study of hydrogen-bonds and their symmetrization under extreme
conditions is predominantly driven by diffraction methods, despite challenges of localising or …

Water in the mantle transition zone and the core-mantle boundary plays a key role in Earth's
stratification, volatile cycling, and core formation. If water transportation is actively running …

Phase relation and equation of state of iron‐titanium oxyhydroxide with α‐PbO2‐type crystal
structure (hydrous α‐phase) was investigated at pressure from middle upper mantle to …

(Mg, Fe) CO 3 solid solutions not only play a crucial role in carbon storage and transport
within the deep mantle, but also serve as a great case for studying the spin transition …

Investigating hydrogen bond symmetrization in hydroxyl compounds necessitates the
precise determination of crystal microstructures. Nonetheless, H atoms are nearly …

Abstract Oxyhydroxides like δ‐(Al, Fe) OOH may stabilize “water” in Mid‐Ocean Ridge
Basalt (MORB) subducted into the Earth's lower mantle. The single‐crystal elasticity of δ‐(Al …

Spin transition and its effect on the physical properties of iron-bearing minerals at high
pressure-temperature (PT) are of great importance for understanding the structural …
