We investigate the high-pressure phase diagram of the hydrous mineral brucite, Mg(OH)2, using structure search algorithms and ab initio simulations. We predict a new high-pressure phase stable at pres
In this proposal we aim to investigate the structural evolution and the P-T stability range of two hydrated borates species, inyoite and jadarite, of which elastic parameters...
Tincalcolite (ideally (Na2B4O7•5H2O) and hydroboracite (ideally CaMgB6O8(OH)6 • 3 H2O) are two common species of hydrated borates found mainly in evaporitic sequences. Today, hydrated borates are the
The main aims of this project are: 1) to assess, the high-pressure and the combined high-temperature/high-pressure stability range of tincalconite (ideally Na2B4O5(OH)4·3H2O), a major ore-mineral of b
