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 …

Magmas are mixtures of melt, crystals and dissolved gasses with or without crystalline
material (Mysen and Richet 2019). They play an important role in igneous processes …

Ever since the pioneering work by McGreevy and Pusztai [Mol. Simul. 1 (1988), pp. 359–
367] in developing the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) technique, computer simulation has …

Laser-heated melts based on the 43CaO–57Fe2O3− x eutectic, close to the calcium ferrite
(CF) composition, were measured with high-energy X-ray diffraction using aerodynamic …

Smalt was commonly used as a pigment by artists between the 16th and 18th centuries. It is
a powdered blue potash glass colored by cobalt ions and often degrades causing dramatic …

Volcanic eruptions generate huge amounts of material with a wide range of compositions
and therefore different physicochemical properties. We present a combined Raman and …

Iron oxide is commonly found in natural or industrial glass compositions and can exist as
ferrous (Fe2+) or ferric (Fe3+) species, with their ratios depending on glass composition …

The local structure about Fe (II) and Fe (III) in silicate melts was investigated in-situ using
iron K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. An aerodynamic …

Sodium-alkaline earth-silicate glasses, of nominal molar composition 16Na 2 O–10RO–
74SiO 2 (R= Ca,(Ca, Mg) and Mg) doped with 0.5 wt.% of Fe 2 O 3, were studied by UV …

The work presented in this review combines the strength of experimental and computational
materials science to understand the iron-induced structural rearrangements in peralkaline …
