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. |

In some cases , the high - temperature phase is not a perfectly periodic structure
but some atoms can be distributed randomly between symmetry - related
positions . At the atomic scale the structure is disordered , but because of the

Their positions in reciprocal space are not identical to those of the pure 12R
material . With increasing degree of transformation , the reflections sharpen and
move to their final positions . These observations are affected by early stages of ...
