Stability of calcium and magnesium carbonates at lower mantle thermodynamic conditions
Samuel S. M. Santos, Michel L. Marcondes, João F. Justo +1
We present a theoretical investigation, based on ab initio calculations and the quasi-harmonic approximation, on the stability properties of magnesium (MgCO) and calcium (CaCO$…
