Structural and Magnetic Phase Transitions in MineralsThis volume in Advances in Physical Geochemistry presents the latest synthesis of theory and experimental data pertaining to structural and magnetic phase transitions in a variety of geochemically important minerals. The book is the first to cover the impact of this rapidly progressing area of solid state physics in earth sciences and reflects its growing significance for mineralogy and petrology. |

For example , the thermal expansion coefficient ay increases from about 10-4 K-
just below T ; to the uncommonly high value of 10 x 10-4 K- near To ( Bachheimer

The distortion increases with compression , and the potential wells deepen . ...
distortion is achieved when the resultant decrease in the Si - O repulsive energy
is balanced by the increase in the Mg - O repulsion and the Coulomb energy .
