Measuring strains in geologically important hydrous minerals
We request 4 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to measure the elastic behaviour of polycrystalline samples of gypsum, antigorite, and talc as a function of uniaxial load. All three... -
Novel proton environments in geologically important hydrous silicates
Hydrous chain silicates (amphiboles) are central to understanding many geological processes in the Earth¿s Crust, Upper Mantle and Transition Zone, where they influence melting,... -
Proton ordering and hydrogen bonding in the hydrous zinc phosphate hopeite, Z...
We request 4 days of beamtime on SXD in order to locate the protons and quantify their ordering within the structure of hopeite Zn3(PO4)2.4H2O. Hopeite is an important phase in... -
Measuring strains in low-symmetry, crystal-chemically complex, hydrous minerals
We request 4 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to measure the development of elastic strains in geologically important minerals as a function of uniaxial load. We wish to perform...
