The stability of subducted glaucophane with the Earth’s secular cooling
Along the cold subduction geotherm, glaucophane remains stable down to pressure and temperature (P–T) conditions of ca. 240 km depth, whereas under the warm subduction geotherm, it dehydrates and breaks down into pyroxenes and silica between ca.

Superionic effect and anisotropic texture in Earth’s inner core driven by geomagnetic field
Earth’s inner core is heterogeneous and anisotropic. A new study based on computational simulation reveals the presence of ionic hydrogen flux in iron crystals, driven by the dipole geomagnetic field, which promotes the formation of observed inner core ...

Phase transition mechanism and bandgap engineering of Sb2S3 at gigapascal pressures
Antimonite (Sb2S3) has potential applications for solar energy, but how its layered structure changes under pressure is incompletely understood. Here diamond anvil cell experiments supported by first principles calculations offer a structural explanation

The Structure and Elasticity of CaO3 Under High Pressure by First-Principles Simulation
The structure, electrical properties, elasticity, and anisotropy of the newly discovered mantle mineral, CaO3, are obtained under 10–50 GPa by first-principles simulation to understand their relations with the composition and structure of the mantle ...

Rock mass classification in highway tunnel engineering during exploration phase and case study [PDF]
It is the foundation of tunnel engineering to classify the rock mass surrounding tunnels. However, it is not easy to precisely determine the class of rock mass in practice as sufficient geological exploration need to be completed before rock mass ...

Subducted oceanic crust is enriched in free silica. Although being one of the silica polymorphs at lower‐mantle pressures, niccolite‐type phase (Nt‐phase) has not been documented in multicomponent metabasaltic or metasediment compositions relevant to ...

Field Study on Earth Pressure of Finite Soil Considering Soil Displacement
The classical earth pressure theory assumes a semi-infinite soil behind the wall, which is no longer applicable to the problem of earth pressure in the case of finite soil.

Phase transitions in MgSiO3 post-perovskite in super-Earth mantles [PDF]
The highest pressure form of the major Earth-forming mantle silicate is MgSiO3 post-perovskite (PPv). Understanding the fate of PPv at TPa pressures is the first step for understanding the mineralogy of super-Earths-type exoplanets, arguably the most ...
