An experimental investigation of the condensation of silicate grains [PDF]
Amorphous magnesium silicate smoke particles were condensed from hydrogen and argon atmospheres containing Mg and Si0. A wide range of initial compositions were observed but all particles could be recrystallized into forsterite (Mg2Si04), by heating to 1000 C in vacuum.

Quartz dissolution associated with magnesium silicate hydrate cement precipitation [PDF]
Quartz has been replaced by magnesium silicate hydrate cement at the Feragen ultramafic body in south-east Norway. This occurs in deformed and recrystallized quartz grains deposited as glacial till covering part of the ultramafic body.

Extinction Curves for Graphite-Silicate Grain Mixtures [PDF]
Mixtures of graphite particles ejected from carbon stars and silicates from oxygen-rich giants are capable of producing excellent fits to the observed interstellar extinction curve. The fits extend over the entire wavelength range of the observations, and include a hump at ~ 2200 Å in the ultraviolet due to the graphite components of the mixtures.

Massive Protostellar Disks as a Hot Laboratory of Silicate Grain Evolution
Typical accretion disks around massive protostars are hot enough for water ice to sublimate. We here propose to utilize the massive protostellar disks for investigating the collisional evolution of silicate grains with no ice mantle, which is an ...
