Magmas Under Pressure: Advances in High-Pressure Experiments on Structure and Properties of Melts

Magmas under Pressure: Advances in High-pressure Experiments on Structure and Properties of Melts summarizes recent advances in experimental technologies for studying magmas at high pressures for a reference of current knowledge, present issues, and future perspective. In the past decade new developments in high-pressure experiments, particularly with synchrotron X-ray techniques, have advanced thestudy of magmas under pressure. These new experiments have revealed significant changes of structure and physical properties of magmas under pressure, which significantly improves our understanding of the behavior of magmas in the Earth's interior. Magmas under Pressure: Advances in High-pressure Experiments on Structure and Properties of Melts is an important reference not only in earth and planetary sciences but also in other scientific fields such as physics, chemistry, material sciences, engineering and industrial applications such as glass formation and metallurgical processing. Includes research and examples of high-pressure technologies for studying the structure and properties of magmaSummarizes the current knowledge on the structure and properties of high-pressure magmaHighlights the importance of magma in understanding the evolution of the earth's interior INDICE: Magmas in the Earth's interior 1.
