Elements, Oxides and Silicates

This comprehensive volume brings together in a well-organized format the vast experimental data on phase relationships in elements, oxides, and silicates at high temperatures and pressures. It also provides a useful introduction to the basic principles governing phase relationships and crystal structures of materials, and discusses how the data presented places constraints on possible earth models. The book is an essential resource to all those concerned with processes at depth within the earth, and is of particular significance to those doing research on the seismic structure of the mantle and on mantle convection.Liu, Lin-gun is the author of 'Elements, Oxides and Silicates', published 1986 under ISBN 9780195036817 and ISBN 0195036816.
