Teaching Mineral Physics
by Pamela C. Burnley, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Below are links to a set of web pages that can be used to teach mineral physics topics. Each page contains an introduction, a list of additional literature, and related links.
Instrumentation
A generalized diamond anvil cell assembly with components. Click for larger image.
Annotated after Burnley and Schmidt (2006).
High Pressure Deformation Experiments
Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy
Topics and Techniques
Tensors: Stress, Strain, and Elasticity
Phase Equilibria at High Pressure
These materials are being developed with the support of COMPRES, the Consortium for Materials Properties Research in Earth Sciences, under NSF Cooperative Agreement EAR 10-43050 and is partially supported by UNLV's High Pressure Science and Engineering Center, a DOE NNSA Center of Excellence supported under DOE NNSA Cooperative Agreement No. DE FC52-06NA26274.
