The magnesium silicate system is an important geophysical analogue and neutron diffraction data from glasses formed in this system may also provide an initial framework for understanding the structure-dependent properties of related liquids that are important during planetary formation. Neutron diffraction data collected in situ for a single composition (38 mol% SiO2) magnesium silicate glass sample shows local changes in structure as pressure is increased from ambient conditions to 8.6 GPa at…

Development of chemical and topological structure in aluminosilicate liquids and glasses at high pressure

The results, combined with ab initio molecular dynamics and classical molecular dynamics simulations using a polarizable ion model, reveal a continuous increase in Al coordination by oxygen, with 5-fold coordinated Al dominating at 15 GPa and a preponderance of 6-foldcoordinated Al at higher pressures.

Elastic properties and structures of pyrope glass under high pressures

Abstract X‑ray diffraction analysis and ultrasonic measurements of a glass with the pyrope composition were conducted to determine its structural and elastic properties at pressures from 1 atm to…

The combined results help to show that the coordination number of network-forming structural motifs in a wide range of glassy and liquid oxide materials can be rationalised in terms of the oxygen-packing fraction over an extensive pressure and temperature range.

Pressure-induced changes in interdiffusivity and compressive stress in chemically strengthened glass.

A specially designed gas pressure chamber is employed to compress bulk glass samples isostatically up to 1 GPa at elevated temperature before or after the ion exchange treatment of a commercial sodium-magnesium aluminosilicate glass, which leads to a decreased Na(+)-K(+) interdiffusivity, increased compressive stress, and slightly increased hardness.

This topical review examines methods for high pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction of liquids and the wide variety of systems which have been studied, from simple liquid metals and their remarkable complex behaviour at high-pressure, to molecular-polymeric liquid–liquid transitions in pnicogen and chalcogen liquids, and density-driven structural transformations in water and silicate melts.

Investigations of high pressure phase diagrams of MgO-SiO2 systems with laser shock compression

Two decades of exoplanet discoveries brought the physics of planetary interiors among the topics of broad and current interests. To advance in this field, one of the key ingredient is the knowledge…

Spin and valence states of iron in Al-bearing silicate glass at high pressures studied by synchrotron Mössbauer and X-ray emission spectroscopy

Abstract High-pressure synchrotron Mössbauer (SMS) and X-ray emission (XES) spectroscopic measurements were conducted to investigate the spin and valence states of iron in (Al,Fe)-bearing magnesium…
