Mar 10, 2017 - Climb in the mantle Results

In a paper just isued in Science Advances, we propose a new creep mechanism which accounts for the flow of bridgmanite in the lower mantle

Mar 2, 2017 - Modeling MgO plasticity Results

For the first time, the mechanical properties of MgO can be derived from numerical modeling in the whole temperature range (from low temperature plasticity to High temperature creep) without any adjustable parameter

Jan 31, 2017 - Data on bridgmanite Results

New: mechanical data on dislocation glide along [100](010) and [010](100) are available for download
