Thermodynamic Data, Models, and Phase Diagrams in Multicomponent Oxide Systems

This book involves application of the Calphad method for derivation of a self­ consistent thermodynamic database for the geologically important system Mg0- Fe0-Fe203-Alz03-Si02 at pressures and temperatures of Earth''s upper mantle and the transition zone of that mantle for Earth. The created thermodynamic database reproduces phase relations at 1 bar and at pressures up to 30 GPa. The minerals are...
