Silicate liquids: Structure and thermodynamic
Silikatschmelzen: Struktur und Thermodynamik
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:09:31
Abstract
Physical and chemical properties of silicate liquids (and magmas) are controlled by their atomic structure and the relative abundance of the various structural units. We will use information from spectroscopic techniques and experimental petrology to determine the structure of liquids and gain insight into the factors that control dynamic processes, such as volcanic eruptions.
Objective
Investigation of structural properties and thermodynamic description of silicate liquids with implications for the understanding of natural magmatic systems. Application of spectroscopic techniques, experimental studies, theoretical considerations.
