Two computer programs, XPOW and XPOWPLOT, that generate and graph X-ray or neutron powder diffractometer patterns of crystalline materials are described. The input for XPOW requires only the…
Sound velocity and elasticity of single‐crystal forsterite to 16 GPa
As an abundant component of Earth's upper mantle, forsterite (Mg2SiO4) has been the subject of extensive investigation for many decades. The pressure dependences of sound velocity and elasticity are…
X-ray Diffraction Results from Mars Science Laboratory: Mineralogy of Rocknest at Gale Crater

- 27 September 2013
The Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity scooped samples of soil from the Rocknest aeolian bedform in Gale crater that revealed plagioclase, forsteritic olivine, augite, and pigeonite, with minor K-feldspar, magnetite, quartz, anhydrite, hematite and ilmenite, which are similar to that found on Earth in places such as soils on the Mauna Kea volcano, Hawaii.
